Diff_Drummers soldier son is HOME!!!

[Diff_Drummer]

To all my Moon Friends,

At approximately 1:30 pm Mountain time on Saturday April 9, my son Zakk put his size 15 boots on American soil after 11 months in Afghanistan. During that time, he received a Purple Heart, and 55 men from his unit, the 101st Airborne, didn't make it home.

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.
