Call from My boy about a half hour ago.
He has arrived safe in Wisconsin from the mideast.
He's a little heavier than when he left.
He's weighted down by his second ARCOM (Army comendation medal) a promotion to Sgt. And a Bronze star.
I have a "dont ask dont tell" policy when it comes to the decorations. I dont think I want to know.
But he should be home buy next weekend.

Glad he is on the way home. Check with your local PGR contingent. They do welcome home rides/events.
It can be an uplifting thing to have a bunch of grizzled old bike riders show up at your house to welcome home the warrior.
