Numbers for my nephew Lucas

23 - years old
15 - number of months in Iraq this time
3 - number of deployments to Iraq
1 - number of days until he is home
0 - number of times he has to go back

We are driving down today to welcome him back home. He and his fellow soldiers should be landing ("boots on the ground" in military speak) before noon tomorrow. YAY!

I'm hoping to post pictures when I get back. Stay tuned.
