Tie a Yellow Ribbon


This is DD214.. the form a soldier is given when they are discharged from active duty. I just spoke to my son Matt and he had his in hand.

He is coming home!

Blessings to all of my friends in Blogdom who have consistently prayed for Matt.. a special thanks to my dear friend Karen who has prayed me through much of this.

This video is so fitting as Matt called me from his car on Interstate 70.

    Congratulations ....

    Blur a little more on your DD214 - you are giving away too much info for ID thieves.
