Warthog

Recommended Posts

Well, I've been out of touch for a few weeks but I finally made it to Valdosta. It was a tough 16 months but it's over. I must say that when I was flying into San Francisco from Seoul I almost cried. I don't think a lot of folks realize how good we have it in the USA. You have to live away from it for a while to get a true appreciation for how great the USA is. No offense to all you non-Americans on the site.

 

Thanks for all your support.

My wife and Lilly were waiting for me upon my arrival home from Las Vegas at 12:30am, Monday morning. I'd been away all of a day and a half. Lilly acted like I'd been gone for a month. I can't imagine the greeting that awaited you when you arrived home, Warthog! :thu:

 

Thanks for your service. I had the pleasure of flying home with a friend from Shul. (Orthodox jewish house of worship.) He and his wife had been in Tuscon for the 62nd reunion of his WWII air group. They were at the Pima Air & Space Museum for the induction of a new display about their battalion. At 82 years old he's the baby of the living members. May you someday be honored at such a reunion. :thu: (I'd salute but I'm not a uniformed soldier.)

 

Welcome back, Warthog.

Congrats on getting home, Warthog. It's great to see the world(!) but absolutely marvelous to see home!!!

 

Of course, if you'd been in Scotland for 16 months you wouldn't want to go back to the US.............

Welcome back. I've heard it takes a while to get reacquainted with the family and work out the pecking order again. I know those little ones have grown tremendously while you were gone. Here's to a quick transition for you, and thank you for your sacrifice.

Tears of joy......you are right, we are lucky. We owe some of that luck to you, and others like you, that keep us strong.

 

Thanks, and welcome home!!

Welcome back WH!! :)

 

I didn't know you were a fellow Georgian!!

I'm just down the road from you near Columbus.

 

Hey, I know the feeling. I lived and Germany for 3 years and never visited home the whole time, and although I had a great time over there....it's really cool when those wheels touch down and you step on U.S. soil again!! :)

 

Thank you for your service and we look forward to your posts on a more regular basis!! :)

Thanks, all. Y'all can dispense with the thanks, though I do appreciate it. It's just my career.

 

Thongs are going well. It is a bit challenging integrating back into the family life. Can't just go and change all the routines my wife has designed over the past year!

 

I'd imagine that Canada (I am a closet Canada-lover...don't spread it around), most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the like are fine. In fact, I enjoyed my 3 weeks in England in the early 90's, but you can keep Asia! Not that it's necessarily a bad place, it's just so different.
