Well, Alex has been home for a couple of days now. It has been a good re-integration so far. I hosted a dinner for my soldier last night at a new but popular Italian restaurant here is San Francisco. Most of my and Alex's family are from the East Coast but we had a total of 14 people for dinner. We then left the restaurant and traveled to a bar that everyone loved. Alex has been home for only 2 day's and he was very apprehensive due to the fact that he is not use to being around lots of people.
He did pretty good considering every thing. He wasn't in uniform but the bar owner and bar tenders remembered him. I guess Alex did well considering the fact that he is going through a re-integration in the U.S. He stepped out tonight with 4 friends for dinner and what ever activities. My boy is home and I am blessed to have a young boy now grown to a grown man.
His sister is heading to Graduate School so they missed getting together. I am sure he will make that up by a road trip South.
We dialed up a combat buddy that has been wounded and is now at WRH. It was cool and Matt, battle on buddy!
Many of my soldiers friends really don't know or understand what our guys are going through. They have been hit everyday at all hours with no warning. Our soldiers are Americas finest and more. A special message to our Moms and Dads, love them, hover over them and more important, love them.
Be there for them
