It’s nice to receive my son home from his second deployment, the first in Fallujah in 2007, the second on the 26th MEU. We stayed on beautiful Emerald Isle for the week, and the LCACs were a bit late getting on to shore on Monday. The reception was a night time event.

Welcome home Marine! Herschel glad your son made it home safe and sound. My baby brother who is an AC-130U pilot makes his first deployment in November of this year to destinations not yet known.

Thanks! When your brother let’s you go up in that aircraft and shoot that awesome gun, you need to get pictures and send them to me. He is going to let you shoot the gun, right? What are brothers for?

My folks just got back from a visit from his base. The SOCOM folks have security so tight right now they were were not even to do a walk around. So the best I might be able to do is get picture from him which I will be sure to share.
