Just to let everyone know, I heard from **WillSantini** today. He sends his regards to the SDMB and is happy to say that he should be home relatively soon (“in a month” in a letter dated mid-June.) Hoping for a Doper’s safe return… ---

Let that stinkin Jarhead know he’s better get his stinkin, smelly, green butt back in one piece, or there WILL be hell to pay. ---

That’s great that he is okay and headed home soon. Safe journey to him. And thanks for being there! ---

I had a short letter from him also, at about the same time. I should get myself in gear and send one more box of cookies. We need to have a great virtual welcome home party when he arrives. ---

Oh, thank heavens. I look forward to his return, and his stories of his experiences over there. Can he tell us, or would he have to then kill us? 😃 ---

He just said he was in Fallujah, and “as you can imagine this is not the happiest place on earth.”
