He says the interview is for the end of the war, and not the award that he received.  He won't be home for Christmas, they are sending him somewhere else.

Proud and rightfully so.


 Let him know one of your invisible friends appreciates the efforts he has made and the sacrifices he has made on my behalf.

From my son........END OF MISSION! We crossed the line at 4:37 AM zulu time this morning. A great experience. Controlled over 45 aircraft over a 20 hour mission and road out of Tallil AB, Iraq in style in a hi-tech command and control MRAP. Got to be the last Joint Terminal Attack Controller (Brutal 71) to sign off on the radios in Operation New Dawn. Special thanks to TSgt Dan "Ogre" Lydens, my henchman for all his help and hard work. Safe in Kuwait for now, but not home for another two months. Thank you for your prayers. See you in March. (I met Geraldo Rivera....He complimented my moustache)
