My son William has been deployed first to Iraq and later to Kuwait and Jordan for almost a year now. I thought William had told me that he was coming home from his deployment on July 15th. I was wrong.
I found out I was wrong when he called me early this morning at 2:30am to tell me his plane just landed at Ft. Hood and I could pick him up right after the Welcome Home ceremony which was at 4:30 am.
Well, we were still so excited that Dawn and I made the ceremony with time to spare, in spite of getting lost twice on Ft. Hood.
Isn't this the best day ever?
