Coming Back From Iraq

Post by XtremeJibber2001 »

A guy my friend has been writing to all the time is coming home tomorrow. I've said a few things to him in some letters she wrote to him and I'm hoping to meet him.

His name is Mike Rodriguez and he was involved in this:

Good that he is coming home, a number of people I served with were not so lucky.. forutnately my closest of friends made it back allright, but then more of my close friends are heading back or are already back and in Fallujah.

That's great to hear.
