SSG Dan is Home, part 2

Here's an email that was passed thru the Church from SSG Dan's daughter, Dana, who also goes to our church.

Dad got back yesterday! We (All the women in the family and the kids) went to Manhattan to a welcome home party at the armory to see him. He was supposed to get there at 2pm, and his unit finally got there at 9:20 pm. We didn't get home until 12:30 this morning. What a long day, but worth it! The reason it took so long is that they've decided to try to release him by Thanksgiving morning, which meant that they had to start their debriefing right away. I am so proud of my Dad and his unit! They were the number 1 ranked transportation company there out of 37 (I think or close to that) companies and they were the only national guard! It is such an awesome thing to be reunited with someone you've been missing so much and to see others being reunited as well. Just imagine what heaven will be like!!! Thank you all so much for prayers. Please keep Mom and Dad both in your prayers over the next few months as they get used to each other again!
Love, Dana
Welcome home brother! We'll see you soon!

Here's a short article
about how things are going in Iraq from the LA Times. I'm stunned. It must be one of those deals where for every 500 articles that are President-bashing attack pieces, they have to run a conservative article. You know, equal time for both sides; it's only fair.
