Welcoming Home A Hero

After eight months in Iraq Garrett Karren returned home. His mother Melanie planned for all of us to line his street waving flags and flashlights. It was such a fun and exciting night for all. I have never felt more proud to be an American.


Here is my sweet little Paulie. He wanted to see Garrett and kept telling him "Thank You". I'm not sure if the thank you was for his service in Iraq or for Paul's late bedtime. Eigther way...Thank you Garrett! We are so happy to have you home.
