I've been a bit behind on posting this, but I make absolutely no apologies - I was spending time with my beautiful girlfriend.



We left Kuwait at about 8:30 Local on the morning of 17 Sept. We made a brief stopover in Amsterdam (where we were segregated from the rest of the concourse by barriers and police with H&K submachineguns) before landing at Cherry Point at 5:00 PM Eastern time. Of course it was another 3 hours or so before we actually made it to the reception area. Once I tracked down my family and finished hugging Steph, I grabbed my bags and we bailed. I almost felt bad for not introducing Steph around, but not really.

More to follow.

Welcome home.

Regarding blogging vs. Steph: clearly you have your priorities in the proper order.

Drive on, marine.
 
No apologies needed. Thanks for a job well done and welcome home!

Welcome Home!! Now go hug that girlfriend of yours~!
 
Pictures like this always give me the chills deep down. Reminds me of my own return.

Turly a time like no other that only those who have experienced can attest to.

Congrats on your recent return, sir, and thank you for your service to our country.

God bless.
 
Whoops!
