Hi Everyone,
Well, as most of you know, my brother-in-law, David (Dan's brother) has been deployed to Ramadi, Iraq since March. Praise the Lord, he came home safely this past Friday, Oct. 3. Here are a few of the sweetest pictures ever. There is nothing like a homecoming!!!
First kiss
David and Callie
Sweet David:)
David and Callie in front of their houseOne interesting thing that happened while David was deployed involved his promotion from 2nd Lt. to 1st Lt. As most of you know, Ramadi was where Dan was deployed when he was injured. On Memorial Day of this year, David stood in the intersection where 3 brave Marines were killed and two others were seriously injured (Dan and Sgt. Luis Blanco), and was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. Two years ago Ramadi was considered "lost" and through the hard work and sacrifice of many Marines and Soldiers, David was able to stand in the open and be promoted. You don't hear these awesome stories on the news. Here is the link to a great article that was written about it with a couple of pictures.

We are so happy David is back home!
Gotta love homecomings! It truly is amazing what has happened over there, it is nice to see our sacrifices paying off!
Teal, this is so beautiful. I can't believe how choked up I get over these homecomings. Please give Callie and David my best. I enjoyed meeting both of them and hope to some day see them again. I was crying so hard, Riley hugged me and told me to quit reading stuff if it was going to make me cry. From the mouths of babes!
Praise the Lord!
Thanks for the link. That was a great article. So glad he is home.
Our prayers have been answered again! David made it home safe! I'm keeping my Yellow Ribbon around my tree for all the troops still on deployment. Love you with all my heart!
Welcome Home David! I can't wait to see you and Callie!
Glad to see David is back with family. I've been thinking a lot about all of you recently. Thanks for keeping us updated through this blog.
