It's like having our proverb

 It's like having our kids home. Our first soldier mentioned that it was really neat to have someone in an unfamiliar place that he could call whenever he needed something. It's kind of like being a second parent and friend. There is no obligation on their part. They can take or leave us.

 Cell phones don't always work, so the cards allow kids to call home or call a friend.

 This Veterans Day, my mind returns again and again to a flight I took home from Baghdad in August -- and an unforgettable reminder of the obligation we have to all who serve the country we love.

 You're going to see it with reintegration as well. Just because we recover a Soldier, it doesn't stop there; when that Soldier comes home and goes through his rear detachment the personnel recovery mechanism is still doing a bunch of things to help reintegrate that Soldier, ...

 You get tired of not being able to have some place you can kind of call home.

I drove home, saw her take her last breath, went to the funeral and left the next day. I never really grieved, and it hit me 2 1/2 years later. You never know when something is going to hit you. It could be the death of a parent, a grandparent or friend. You have to handle it the best way you can.

 Those who have high thoughts are ever striving; they are not happy to remain in the same place. Like swans that leave their lake and rise into the air, they leave their home and fly for a higher home.
