Flight Home

He flew home through Paris. He said that the people there were rude but then again maybe he's biased knowing what the French have said and done to the US in regards to Iraq. It's someplace he never wants to ever visit again.

He flew from Kuwait to Paris and on to New York in his "civies". Once on US soil a lot of the guys changed out of their "civies" and put on their "CDU's". He did the same. The guys left New York on connecting flights to their home states - hand shakes, pats on the back.

People started to notice them when they walked through the terminal wearing their uniforms. Thumbs up, head nods, smiles... He felt good about being a member of our armed services.

I have to say, when I saw him cross the baggage claim area wearing his uniform I was so incredibly proud of him. It's great to have him home.
