My son, SPC Brian Jolley, and another that I consider my own, SPC Steven Moore, have finished their reintegration classes, and they are coming HOME.
Fanfare is in the works! A motorcade, including the Patriot Guard, will escort these boys to their front door on Friday morning, and I'd love it if you could run out to the sidewalk and wave at them.
The motorcade will leave the State police station in Pesotum, IL at 9:30 in the morning.
It will travel North on Route 45 to Windsor Road.
It will proceed West to Galen Drive.
It will turn South on Galen, and end up on Lancaster drive, where there might also be a home dripping in flags and a Mom wearing an Army shirt.
Tell your boss you'll be right back, and run out to wave at these boys. Their time in Iraq was not a tiptoe through the tulips; c'mon out and let them know you're glad they made it home. Your support will make a memory for them that they will carry with them forever...and into their next deployment.
Feel free to walk on over and give a Mom a hug too. Or rather, stand back if you're near her; you might get one whether you want it or not.
Email me if you'd like more information.

Ooh, sorry I'm missing this -- right now, in fact. Keith called to tell me he heard about it on the radio. How wonderful! So so happy for you, and how perfect to make this public aknowledgment of where they've been, and that they're back. Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteSo...I didn't come by mama's house, but I did pop down on Windsor to watch them go by.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll see you on Sunday for sure.
Aagh, I'm disappointed! We got busy and apparently missed it! Well, at least my eye makeup will remain intact.
ReplyDeleteI'm at Saturn on 45 in Savoy. How did I not see you go by.....???? Anyway, welcome home!!!!!!
