Another homecoming picture (one of the first of 3ID to arrive just after Christmas....And there are lots of wives and Moms waiting today at Fort Benning... and as if waiting weren't hard enough, there have been flight delays -- rain (of all things!) in the Middle East... and we heard snow in Ireland?? So it just adds to the anticipation... To give you a closer look, there are times when we are following almost minute by minute on the (private) 3ID message Board... and it's like this EVERY DAY...

all the flights are delayed girls...please call rearD before you go down to the airfield

I am so very happy for you all. Now you all just love those soldiers and get reaquainted. Thank you for all you have sacrificed. God Bless.
So exciting as these long deployments are finally coming to and end. I was reading the Army Times last night, looking at that big old map and the literally THOUSANDS of soldiers headed that way. Good to see!!
These are so great to see. Hopefully there will be more and more homecomings.

I remember how excited we were when we finally got the call from our son when he was finally in the contintental US letting us know it was just a matter of a few hours before he would be landing in Hawaii...then that he was just a bus ride away...then just a few minutes away...there we were watching the live video in the hanger waiting...waiting...then seeing him get off the bus and knowing that just a few minutes more and they would all be marching in....I'm so happy for all of you! We are so proud of all our service men. Thank you for all your wonderful posts letting us share in all your adventures.
