Back from Iraq

[gerabuu]

<p>Well ya'll I'm back!</p><p>thanks to all that helped me continue to enjoy the show via long distance back doors. Really helped me in some tough times and took my mind off the world around me. Sometimes I dont think I could have&nbsp;got any sleep if I didnt&nbsp;have the buddays to make me laugh and help me relax after a long stressfull day.</p>

<p>Play with my dogs.</p><p>&nbsp;Im married, but Ive been away from my wife for extended periods of time before. It was my first time being away from my dogs since I got them. So I was really happy to see them. I dont have kids. Is that strange. </p>

<p>Welcome home, enjoy yourself.</p><p>It is because of people like you that we have the freedom we do....I thank you.</p>

[Yerdaddy]

<p>Thanks for your service, and welcome home Budday. </p><p>If and when you feel like it, I wonder if you'd mind posting something about your experiences over there? What do you think Americans know least about what it's like serving in Iraq? </p>

I dont think people realize its as scarry as it is. I mean no shit, its very possible to die or lose an arm or leg over there. I mean most people dont realize how many guys are getting injured over there. Im lucky. I spent most of my time flying recon missions. Looking for things like IED's and weapons.&nbsp;It's safer in the air than it is on the ground. The guys that are there for the most part want to be there. I mean it sucks to be there and everyone would rather be home,&nbsp;but we want to get the job done. Its too late in the game to turn tail.

Thanks for your service and glad that you made it home safe and sound.
