The military just sent a bunch of marine reserves home from Iraq out of the Cleveland area, and maybe he was fortunate enough to be just returned.
Unfortunately, it was a group (sorry, I don't know at what level of organization it was) that experienced a huge amount of losses during the first week of August...approximately 14 men on one day. So the return was certainly bittersweet as displayed well in the news...men suffering from the loss and non-return of their colleagues, yet delighted to be home.
