BUFFALO, N.Y. - Lexington's Darrell Anderson crossed the border back into the United States yesterday afternoon, almost two years after deserting from the Army and fleeing to Canada, and started for home in Kentucky, where he plans to turn himself in at Fort Knox on Tuesday.

But Anderson's stay at Fort Knox apparently could be brief, according to his attorney.

Chicago lawyer Jim Fennerty, who is representing Anderson, told reporters in Canada yesterday that an officer at Fort Knox told him by phone last week that the Army has decided not to court-martial Anderson, and plans to release him within three to five days. Fennerty said the officer told him that a discharge would be mailed to Anderson within a few days after that.

His mom told me of their plans, but I held my tongue about this issue because it was said in a private conversation. I am so happy for her. I hope some day to meet her brave son.
I also hope the army is being truthful.

Welcome home Darrell.

1. Welcome home, Darrell, and I too hope the Army is being honest. nt

2. Yes welcome home Darrell

thank you for your service, not the one in the service as such but the one where you stand up for 'our' rights, yours and mine.

5. I hope he will continue to be a voice in our struggle.

We really need a leader for peace here in Lexington.

3. maybe the worm has turned!

maybe there are too many soldiers so pissed off at the repuke's goofball war that, in effect, Darrell's case would be championed by too many of the guys who bush needs to persecute the kid, so someone in control has decided to cut'n'run...also, publicity about the case (Darrell has shown he's got more courage then yer average nazipuke, just by going home, so, in public at least, the boors are run off like feral mongrels, scared of getting put on the record in an illegal war)

4. I just hope they were telling him the truth
