My Favorite Veteran Returns Home! I'm Buyin'!
« on: December 01, 2004, 09:22:39 AM »
Youngest son returned from a 14 month tour in Korea at 12:30 this morning.  We've got him for 16 days before he reports to Fort Campbell, much closer to home!!  At least for a while.  At the moment he's out lookin' up his friends, so while he's out, I'm buyin'

If you're buyin', I'm drinkin'.  Make it a tall one.

How about a toast?  Here's to him and those like him who slog it out in the mud so we can all sleep well at night.

I hope you have a great visit and many more.

Cousin Butler,  Glad to hear that your son is home for a few days.  If it is okay with you I would like to buy you and the rest a drink to celebrate.
