He finally recieved it about 7 months after he was medically retired. Even though he was home the Army Awards Center sent it to his former 3ID unit. His unit keep his Medal and just mailed him the paper work. I had to called the awards center and they mailed another one direct to our house right away.<BR/><BR/>Good lukc to Noah and family.BamaCoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133821465249496039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-316719276324124372007-08-21T10:10:00.000-07:002007-08-21T10:10:00.000-07:00Well, I guess by now your Hansel and Gretel have a...Well, I guess by now your Hansel and Gretel have arrived...hope all is going well. I know what it's like to have the grown "kids" come home to live for a while. We weren't "alone" for very long before Katie moved in with us for the year Seth was deployed. Then three months ago, Kevin moved in when he left active duty. He's still here, trying to get his future plans sorted out, and may be here for a few more months depending on how things go. He, too, plans to move on asap. We love him dearly, as we do all our boys, and our house will always be their home with a revolving door, but it's the natural order of things for them to move on. My best wishes to you and the family...and I hope you enjoy the time they are there..... :)kbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223790985074382728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-30107142279444432892007-08-19T13:54:00.000-07:002007-08-19T13:54:00.000-07:00SSM,IMHO I would be planning on Months rather than...SSM,<BR/><BR/>IMHO I would be planning on Months rather than Weeks for Noah to re-discover his wings.

Married-With-Children lived with us for about 6 months (that was a fun adventure), and now my other son, the soldier, and his wife are visiting before he heads out to Iraq. A nephew is living in the soldier's room until he graduates from high school next spring so, while I thought I was going to enjoy the empty nest from now on, it just hasn't been very empty. <BR/><BR/>Good thing we are stong women, huh?StoicMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775328448815849605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-15106809460924976712007-08-18T10:43:00.000-07:002007-08-18T10:43:00.000-07:00Best hopes & wishes for the coming days for all of...Best hopes & wishes for the coming days for all of you. So glad he's finally finished with all the rigamarole and headed home. And, happy for you that you can say what's on your mind now without worrying too much about fallout for Noah.<BR/><BR/>{{Hugs}}Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828848189028464069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-8566785126490305072007-08-15T17:47:00.000-07:002007-08-15T17:47:00.000-07:00Lots of changes in the near future.
