    Congrats on getting home. Looking forward to seeing pics of your progress, once you've caught up with the family, of course.

    Sorry, I thought I was pretty plain there.
    IMO the entire country of Afganistan, or Iraq, or pick one isn't worth the life of one US soldier.
    Our military people put their lives on the line and to me to ask them to do so should be for something meaningfull.
    By meaningfull I mean that if the USA or one of our close allies( England,Canada,etc) were to be invaded then we send troops.
    My perspective is that it is up to the people of these countries to rise up and overthow these dictators,etc like we saw in Libya.
    I have no objections to tossing in some air support as long as it can be done safely for the people in our Air Force.
    That said, the Military goes where the Commander-in-Chief sends them and they always have my respect and admiration.
    My apologies if this created an off topic in a thread that shouldn't have any but I wanted to clear up any possible misunderstanding of what I meant.

    You have heard it 50 times already in this thread, which by my count is hundreds of millions short. Every American has you and your brothers to thank for our safety. here is one more towards that total. Thank you so much for keeping me and my family as well as all Americans safe. Welcome Home!

    Welcome Home!!!! Every since I was a young lad and went to the airport with my mother to welcome my father home from Vietnam I still get a lump in my throat when I hear about someone returning from their tour. Please know how much we as citizens appreciate your service to this country and the sacrifice your family endures. I am truly sorry for all those that paid the ultimate price and those that are forever changed in a way most of us will never understand.
    It has been great reading your post and seeing your excitement in the prospect of building your dream. I hope you can get some down time with the family and start working on your car soon.
    Take care and enjoy the reunion! Get some pictures posted when you can.
    Wayne
