Way back when, back in January, I posted (http://www.sw-fans.net/archive/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37611) about a friend of mine, Joe's former college roommate, who had been shipped off to Iraq. I asked those here at the boards to pray for his safe return.

Well, it paid off, and he's back safe and sound in the US, and thankfully in one piece. Thanks for all the prayers!!

His wife and family are planning a ginormous "welcome back" BBQ in his honor down in his home state of FL sometime in the next month, so Joe and I will most likely be going down to welcome him home. :)

My friends are likewise returning. One from Afghanistan, intact and healthy. One from Iraq, with half a head full of schrapnel :(

Oh no. :( Hopefully he is still fully functional and doing well.

Deaf in one ear but otherwise okay. He wasn't winning any beauty pageants before the war, so I guess he'll be fine now. Married & has a kid.

At least he came back alive.
