He's coming home! (link to news story added)

sarge_3ad
PFC Timothy Cox was hit with a IED in Iraq. Spent 2 weeks in intensive care at Landstuhl Army Medical Center in Germany, where they didn't know if he was going to live or not. He was tore up pretty bad with scrapnel, broken pelvis and arm, and internal injurys. Finally, he was well enough to be moved to a VA hospital in MN. Today a friend of his grandpas who owns a nice aircraft is flying to MN to pick him up and bring him home for Thanksgiving. He is to fly into our little local airport today to a heros welcome, and I'll be there and so will the rest of our active members of our VFW post. It should be a day to remember for PFC Timothy Cox.

Welcome Home Tim and Happy Thanksgiving.

Just returned from the airport.

    Great news! I wish him speedy and 100% recovery.

    I thank God my son came home in one piece. His whole company was pretty fortunate. They got hit with IEDs and small arms fire a lot, but had no KIAs, and only two boys got hurt bad enough to be sent home. I met one of them at Fort Riley. He was in a wheelchair due to having both ankles broken by a bomb under his vehicle. He was in good spirits and looking forward to getting back to duty. OOORAH!

    Also I email his Grandfather ( Our VFW Post Commander) this link to GunBroker so he could share with Tim.

    Thank you all for you kind responses.

    That gave me cold chills. Hope you all continue to support us service members. Please keep those of us who are stationed overseas or away from family in your holliday prayer. Please say a special prayer for those in Iraq and Afgan.

    Thanks again.
