My dad came back for 2 weeks R&R on the 28th of december (i only got a week with him before it was back to college ), but im glad he was out of the combat zone for a while.

He was also glad to be back, insisted i somehow grew a bit (yeah, right, not at 18 going on 19), and enjoyed the little things: Good Food, a tv bigger than 15 inches,...
