Welcome Home Party
Tonight we had our official welcome home party at the PA Farm Show, the same place we had our going away party 15 months before. This time we wore civilian clothes even though we were getting paid. this weekend was the first weekend back to drilling since we got back from Iraq. Tomorrow we will report in the morning in ACUs and really be back to Army weekends.
Tonight was a lot of fun seeing people I had not seen since January. Here's some of the photos:
1LT Joel Candelario asked his fiance to marry him during dinner--it was a surprise that Andrea Magee almost gave away ten minutes before Joel popped the question, but it was a big surprise.
The other over-50 soldiers from Echo Company. SGT Bruce Reiner is on the right with his wife. SFCs Glen Valencia, and Larry Christman.
Several sergeants in Delta Company made flowered shirts the uniform of the night.

That's a great picture of Nigel, Jaraci and their new best bud. All the pictures are good. How much longer are you a soldier? I know Peter would like you to hang in for another 5 or 6 years. BTW - his 90th birthday is April 22nd. He is still with us, yes?
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a surprise that 1LT Candelario gave me and even with the slip by Andrea Magee, I did not suspect a thing. I love the picture and I love Joel so much.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll get the pictures downloaded next drill. It was fun to be part of Joel popping the question!
