peace

having Jeremy home, and especially when I have both of my sons, Jeremy and Josh around makes me feel very alive and at peace. Jeremy is doing well. Josh and I are not worried anymore and it is a good feeling. As a bonus Jeremy has a really cool young woman in his life named Sara. There is once again life and light in my home. I never ever want to be in that dark place again like I was when Jeremy was in Iraq. He brought a great movie home about the 1/110 Alpha company that was made by a guy in his unit. Very honest and it was well done. It will be shown in Jimmy Stewarts hometown, Indiana Pa. I have an advanced copy. I could see what Jeremy told me during his deployment. I laughed and I cried as I watched it.

in Pa. by Wednesday?

Jeremy has been on "leave" in Mississippi where everyone is backlogged. With any luck at all Lord Willing, My oldest will be in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. I am impatient and a little angry at the lack of communication regarding any details of when our soldiers will be released from active duty at their armories. We need information if we are to be there to support our troops and cheer them as they come home.
I pray for all the family members still living through the hellish worry of their loved one being in a combat area. God Bless all of you.

Jeremy should be out of Iraq

He told me he would be out of Iraq June 8, and that's today! Hallelujah!
Now if anyone would be able to tell me when he is going to be in Pa.
Hope to see everyone showing their appreciation when our troops come home.

when does it end

Even though I heard we won't learn much, I am going to the reunion briefing. I cannot stand not knowing. I think everyones nerves are taxed right now, both our soldiers and us, the families.
We had a Sgt's wife send us info the entire year, Sgt. Medved's wife Janet.
The FRG was no help.
Janet did this out of the goodness of her heart.
Thank you Janet.
