I am finally home from Iraq
IF you don't know I am a Captain in the Army Reserve and my year in Iraq is now over:

After two very long days in Kuwait, a 22 hour and 47 minute intercontinental flight including the 3 layovers, two incredibly bad Chiefs games, 5 long days getting my company De-mobilized with nearly zero internet access, a drive-by to see the Patriot Construction, and one Chipotle Burrito later, I am home in Kansas City. Phew!

Thank Goodness!

Welcome home. It's good to have you back safely. I truly believe in what you and the many others are trying to do over there. I hope that some of the sharp and public critism never got you and others over there down or upset. I support our troops and what they're doing there. Thanks for serving and protecting our country.

Welcome back and thank you for serving our country.

I'm sorry about the Chiefs games. Chipotle is a banging gourmet chain. My Philadelphia EAGLES won but we don't have any Chipolte's in the area. You have me beat there. I want a Chipotle restaurant!

I'll also join in with the welcome home, good to see you back safe, and thank you so much for your service to us. It is deeply appreciated.

As for the Chiefs, I can sympathize somewhat. They're killling my fantasy teams. And as a 49er's fan the last couple of years...

Welcome back! Though I may Disagree with the war, I beleive that American soldiers should be regarded highly for their bravery, and patriotism. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all that you have done for us to keep America safe. I back the troops 100%. Thank you so much for your bravery and may God bless you.

I'll have sympathy for the Chiefs now, but when they play the redskins next week....well, no mercy will be shown.

Welcome home dude. Thanks for your service to our country.

Heh, sports isn't EVERYTHING....but then again, my San Jose Sharks were off to a bad start but are currently making up for it :).
