The Marines from Bobby's unit are back on U.S. soil. My good friend Melody's son is a Sgt. in this unit on his second tour and I took her to lunch on Monday to celebrate the fact that they had left Iraq. I've just watched the news video of them coming off the plane in California and I'm sitting at my desk with tears running down my face. GOSH - does this bring back memories from 4 years ago!!!! (The big difference this time is that they lost one to sniper fire. How hard this must be for his parents to watch this video).
Our family and of course Bobby, plan to be there on Saturday to welcome Mel's son home, along with all the Marines of Company B.
