Back from 18 months in Iraq's Triangle of Death

This is the moment that I got my hands on my oldest son, Allen, who is an infantry soldier in the US Army. He had been in Iraq during the surge and had lost several close friends in combat. He had also been in 3 separate IED attacks, but had only been slightly injured each time, thank God. I can't tell you how overjoyed I was to see his handsome, smiling face - back on Texas soil!
