My Dad's Back

**WhiteWidow** · 06-04-2008, 09:22 AM

My dad just arrived back safely from Baghdad the night before last. He'd been there since August. He had been retired from the Army for about 25 years, but somehow managed to talk his way back in - he turns 60 in October. I've never heard of anyone doing such a thing, and no one believes me when I tell them. I'm just glad he's back OK, and apparently picked up a cigar habit while he was over there. He sent me a bunch of pictures, so I'll try to post a few of them - they're pretty interesting to say the least.

Glad he is back safely...Never count us old guys out.

obviously I don't know you or your dad, but tell him thank you.

It takes a great person to serve us like that, especially after being retired.

wow, amazing. Sounds like some good Father/Son time is in your near future. I thought, at first, you were talking about your Dad's back, like a back surgery or something.
