We got the news yesterday that he will be coming home for Christmas!! He has been gone since January and was hoping to get home in Sept but he was denied any leave. He will be leaving Kuwait Dec. 20. He will be home until Jan. 5. We are all looking forward to seeing him and will be glad when we get to see for ourselves that he is safe. As far as he knows right now, he will be returning to Kuwait after his leave. They really don't tell him too much about where he'll be or for how long. Just wanted to share the good news.
