" It's Awesome...."

It's with much joy, and a huge sigh of relief, that I can report that my older brother Nathan is offically back in Canada from his seven month tour in Afghanistan. He landed back in Shilo in the early morning hours on Saturday and we will get to see him and Brice on Thursday afternoon. My dad phoned me this morning and told me that he and Brice were on Global National news last night. Here is the link to the video page........http://www.canada.com/globaltv/national/video/index.html. Just select "Global National Stories" and click the clip called "Coming Home". They show Nathan and Brice reuniting with a kiss then right after there is a short interview with him.
To say the least I broke down to tears seeing them together and Thursday afternoon can not come soon enough! Can't wait!!

That interview and clip was so powerful. When I saw your brother, I saw Wayne in a couple of years. I can barely stand to watch this without losing it now and Wayne's only been gone a month! Imagine how bad it'll be once he's been on tour in Sudan or Georgia for 6 or 10! I shudder at the thought, but please pass on my sincerest thanks to Nathan. He is a brave man and I have unending respect for him and his colleagues.
