Back to Iraq

My nephew begins his journey back to Iraq today, after R & R. We will go spend the afternoon with him at the airport today on his layover, taking him lunch, extra snacks, homemade cookies and the like.

later in the day:
It is the evening, now. We spent a nutty day traveling from gate to gate all over the airport. Neither my nephew nor I have a cell phone! Thankfully, courtesy phones and the USO helped us connect! Our teens and I spent most of his layover keeping him company. What a treat. I told him how proud I was of him and to stay as safe as he could. We hope and pray for his safe return in November!
