I just want to come home
I found this browsing around my old home town paper... It touched my heart....



I just want to come home....


DJ Scheivert in Balad Iraq is daydreaming of being home and away from the sand and the noise.

"i just want to be home with all of my family. I miss my mom and dad." Dj sighs.

3. Your comment reminds me of a news clip of Bush at Walter Reed...
Bush was holding the prosthetic hand of a vet who lost his limb in Iraq.

Bush was smiling...he looked as if he wanted to arm wrestle the soldier. Really, it was very strange.

8. Mom and Dad
Are bad for morale?

What's this world coming too when our troops get homesick? Why, it'll be overrun with terrorists!
