I want to thank God for bringing my son home safely and in one piece. I also want to thank all my friends here on Aural Moon for their constant support, and appreciation for his service to our country and his sacrifice for our safety and Freedom.

My wife and I are taking him on vacation when he starts his 30 day post deployment leave the 1st week of May, with a cruise in the Bahamas and a few days at Disney. (Hey Zakk, you just spent 11 months kicking some Taliban Ass... What are you going to do now? "I'm goin' to Disney World!")

We can finally sleep peacefully now. But our prayers and thoughts go out to the families that weren't as lucky as we are. God Bless you and God Bless America.

Great news for you and yours, I am most certain, and I do appreciate the sacrifices of those who did not make it home. Imagine!
