May your trains soon feel your hand on the throttle once again. My hat's off to you and those like you who can handle being a soldier. I appreciate your efforts on behalf of our country.

I hope you see [#welcome] home signs soon!

A huge hug for you and your family on your safe return home. Do not let the current noise about the Iraq conflict distract you from realizing the support all of us feel for you and your commrads there in the desert. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as you get "caught up" with the important part of your life here stateside.
Be safe!!

And thank you, Rick. Regardless of where we stand on the current conflict, we all appreciate the sacrifices that you and your teammates in the field have made.

To paraphrase Franklin Roosevelt (I think), you're helping to make the world safe for model railroading. Let us know when you're running trains again.

Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice. Having been a Vietnam era vet, I know first hand the emotional turmoil that you may feel. So much to catch up on in the real world! Enjoy your family and hope to see you soon back on these threads.
God Bless!

I'd like to thank all of you, first for the support many of you have shown, and second for offering an outlet. My time here in Iraq is drawing to a close and I really looked forward to getting on the forum when I could. This will be my last post for some time, between some duties, travelling, and eventually getting caught up with the family, this will have to move waaaaay down the list[:D]

No need to reply cause by the time I see the forum again, it'll be buried, but that's okay.
