#1 Anymouse's son is home and we are celebrating. He corroborates that his last 2 months in the Al Anbar were "boring". (but I can assure you not for anymouse and his Mother). Semper Fi!

#2 Congratulations, Anymouse! Please tell your son that most of this nation--the intelligent part--holds him and his Marine buddies in the highest regard and is extremely grateful for their service. Semper Fidelis indeed!

#3 Congratulations here, too, Anymouse! Our family's Marine was over in the 'wild west' 2005-06. His stay was definitely not boring, but he's glad that what he and his company did for the area created the scenario that keeps your son, his team and the locals safer from the AQ types.

Outstanding!

#5 Thanks TF, Mullah, and JM. We are proud (though relieved). He is pretty low key and modest. He does not expect to deploy to Iraq again, unless as an advisor. Marine focus is shifting to Afghanistan, of course.

#9 Anymouse Jr. just another grateful American wanting to say thanks on behalf of a lot of other Americans! There's lot of us grateful Americans out here and don't ever forget that.

And a great big thanks to Amymouse and Mom -- your caring and sharing has brought his service close to your friends here in Rantburg.

You raised a good'ne.
