Joe told us that in less then 45 days he will be leaving his post to start the journey back home. Not sure exactly when he'll be in the states, but at least the time is counting down. I'm hoping that Denise & I can both be there when he gets off that bus/plane so we can both give him a rib breaking bear hug . He told us to thank everyone for all the kind words, the boxes of goodies & everything that you folks have done for him & his group of guys. I know if he could do it he'd like be able to personally thank every one of you. Hopefully he will be able to meet at least some of you & be able to do that in the near future....joe
