The next time we talk to (Jeremy) will be when he lands in Atlanta, back on U.S. soil. Man, we can't wait for that moment.

We may be overwhelmed, but my baby will be back home. I can't wait to get my hands on him.

All the roads in Baghdad are closed, so he figured he'd probably spend his last night at the airport before flying to Kuwait, then to Fort Benning (in Georgia) and then to New York City. He thinks he'll be home by next weekend, after he's debriefed about the war.

He did a lot of online ordering and had things shipped to the house. We keep getting boxes in the mail.
