My Brother is Home

It has been 6 long months since my mom received a hurried phone call from my little brother, who is in the Air Force, that he would be leaving the next day for Afghanistan. During that time we had received very little communication from him, he called one of my sisters twice I think. Then, a few weeks ago, we got a letter from him saying he would be home some time the end of the month (May), he hopped. Today I got a phone call from him! He is in Washington. After he attends two of his buddies funerals and receives his medals (two of them are pictured below), he will head back to North Dakota, where he is stationed, to check in with his unit and be debriefed. After which he will hopefully be given leave and allowed to come "home" to visit us! We are so excited and proud of him! My Dad is already planing a big home coming celebration for him!!! I can hardly wait to see and talk to him!!!
