The other side of the Surge
Posted on May 28th, 2008 In my own particular idiom Claire
My son is through surging, fighting, patrolling, and whatever else he was doing in Iraq. He is officially on his way home. I am not at liberty to say much more, but I wanted you all to know that he is officially no longer in a war zone as I type this.
He is coming home. I think that is the sweetest sentence I have ever typed.
Way cool!! Reading this just made my day better.
Yay! Wooohoooo!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Did ya all hear me over there?

That has got to be the almost bestest news. We all know what the bestest is…….;) Prayers ongoing - with love…..
That is the best news Claire. Please give him a big hug and a thank you from me.
P.S. Thanks for the package, it means more to me than you can imagine.
Hire the band and deck the halls.
Best news in the world.

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for sharing our joy and enthusiasm! I am anxiously waiting for that official call from him from his cell phone here in America. I will update the blog as soon as I get the call — unless, of course it comes at 3am. ;)
Fantastic news, Claire!!! I know it will be wonderful to have Mike back home safe and sound. I look forward to seeing him again and shaking his hand once he’s been home for a bit (won’t interrupt family time for a while).
Take care and it’s good to know you can finally breathe again…

blessed moment as I know you will, let him know how much we
“Thank” him for his honorable service too! We “Thank” your entire
family, for those that wait also serve! Love and hugs, Nancy DeMaio
Get ready to cry…a lot.
My tears started waiting for the busses carrying my son April 25 and haven’t abated much since. I had no idea I was holding so much in–I’m ex-military! I’m tough! and all that other nonsense.
I’m so glad your boy is coming home. Keep the kleenex handy.
