Joe is back on US soil

Got a call about an hour ago & Joe said he was standing on US soil near Cherry Point, NC. It was great to hear his voice once again & unknown to him I might be flying out there this Wednesday to surprise him. A friend has a boatload of Frequent Flier Miles that he said he'd give me to go if I wanted to. I told Denise to go but she can't get off work so she told me to go. So we're going to see if I can get a seat on a plane to fly out there. Not only might I go but one of Joe's best friends is flying out there on Wednesday also.
Joe's girlfriend is going to pick us up & surprise Joe :D:cool::D
We're just glad this tour is over even though Joe said it was like a vacation this time. I just want to give that kid a BIGG Rib cracking bear hug....joe

I would like to personally thank him for his service to this great country.....
