Welcome Back

I just got word last night in the midst of all my finals studying that my cousin Josh, who you may recall was stationed with the Marines in Iraq, just reached American soil and he is currently on-base in Hawaii. This is tremendous news and my family and I are ecstatic at his safe arrival. Even better, his brother Luke, who is also in the Marines, is stationed in Hawaii as well and the two are finally reunited. This certainly puts finals studying and harrowing travel experiences in perspective for me as nothing compares to the sacrifice and courage Josh has displayed in his time in service to our country fighting for freedom. I only wish I was there with Luke to personally greet Josh upon his re-entrance to the States. Welcome back Stateside, Josh!
