I remember when some local soldiers came home after Desert Storm. TV was covering it and a foolish female reporter stuck her microphone out at one couple who had gone into a really tight clinch. “So, do you have any plans for the evening?” she chirped. And, when I came back to the United States after 13 months in Korea, I didn’t want to drive the 70 miles home from the airport. “Let’s get a motel room” I told the (now ex)husband. So\*\*, Ruby\*\*, whatcha gonna be doin’, going out to dinner or what? In all seriousness, I’m glad **Mr. Ruby** is coming home safe. You can be very proud of him, and I know we here at the SDMB are greatful for his service. ---

Joy of joys! I’ve finally got him home, showered, and now he’s sleeping like a man who’s been up for the last 26 hours~! 🙂 You’ve never seen such community support as ours today. There were hundreds of people lining the parade route waving yellow ribbons and American flags. We had a brief ceremony at the Coliseum with hundreds of friends and family. The state and local officials made brief proclomations and and then they were released to their families. Yeaaaaaaaaaa! ---

Welcome home, brother. And thank you, too, for your service, **Ruby**. I’m currently active duty, but was a dependent wife for 16 years, so I know what it’s like on both sides. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hooah-hes-home/301834.md?page=1)
