Something to Smile About

After seven months in Iraq and a horrific five-day journey home, my friend Craig has returned to his family. The smile on his daughter Mia's face says it all...

When he has some free time (not likely anytime soon), Craig may want consider contributing to a wonderful website I recently discovered: Eyewitness to History. Fascinated by history since childhood, I've been drawn for days to this site, with its incredible first-person accounts of the most important periods in history. I, personally, am fortunate enough to know some amazing people with their own remarkable stories to tell. Very fortunate, indeed.

I don't know you, Craig, but welcome home, and rest assured that even those of us who don't like the war admire and respect your bravery and sacrifice.

Hopefully he will not have a hard adjustment to civilian life now that he's back. My stepdad recently came back after one year out there, and still has difficulty adjusting. We're throwing a surprise birthday party for him this weekend, to let him know how appreciated he is.
