Home Soil

Arrived in the USA last night. The average US citizen still appreciates what the military does for them. Many are still appreciative of the job which we do. I have a new appreciation for those who are deployed for 12-15 months. No matter how we try to "Americanize" the forward bases, they are still nothing like living in the US. I didn't realize how nice a real bed is, how lovely a large shower is, and not having to walk 1/4 mile to get my breakfast. It is really sweet to be back on American soil. I pray that terrorist do not transform the US into a place like Iraq, but I fear that the terrorist will not leave the US alone for much longer, especially with the current administration.
