This letter so moved me. I can't imagine how difficult it was for this father to write this letter:

My son, the soldier, comes home. for good.

At last report he had left Iraq and was waiting a flight in Kuwait. With
luck he will be in Germany today and then on to Texas. By the way, he is
called "remains" but I know better. He is my son.

I want to tell you about him. Not because he is so great a guy - although I
think so, but because he represents the thousands of sons and daughters
America is sending to far away places to secure our peace and our liberties
at home.
