All Call to BlueGhosts

It would be great if as many of you as possible send my Son, a WELCOME HOME message.  He arrived at Ft Hood yesterday afternoon after a year in Iraq with the 4th Infantry Division.  His e-mail is >>jcdrury@google.com<< .  Let's give him the welcome home we never got.  Please identify yourself as a blueghost or friend of blueghosts.  I am attaching the picture of him with the BlueGhost patch he had tatooed on his arm.
 
Thanks

4th/31st,

Before the message was taken down I visited their website and posted a message with our call sign and time I was in country.  I got a reply back from one of their RTOs.  We've been talking online since.  He was on LZ West and patroled that area.  We shot so many times in the area and he thanked us for our work.  Nice to actually meet (if only online) a name behind the voice on the ground
 
Hope you all had a great Veteran's Day.  I certainly did.  I awoke to my wife standing at the foot of the bed saying "It's Jon, he's on the phone and he is in Kuwait".  I haven't been that clear in my head so fast in 37 years.  He should be on a jet to the Conus by now.  I even got a call from Ft. Hood yesterday telling me that the welcome home was scheduled for 18:30 hrs tomorrow.  I am one happy and proud papa.
 
Best to all
BlueGhost Two-Zero
Proud Papa

An American golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods.

Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him.

Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him "Arrgh! What happened?" the Leprechaun asked.

"I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball," the golfer says.

"Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?"

"Thank God, you're all right!" the golfer answers in relief.

"I don't want anything, I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize." And the golfer walks off.

"What a nice guy," the Leprechaun says to himself. I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things I would want... a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life."

A year goes by (as it does in stories like this) and the American golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.

"Twas me that made ye hit the ball here," the little guy says.

"I just want to ask ye, how's yer golf game?"

"My game is fantastic!" the golfer answers. I'm an internationally famous golfer now." He adds, "By the way, it's good to see you're all right."

I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money situation?"

"When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100.00 bills I didn't even know were there!"

"I did that fer ye also. And tell me, how's yer sex life?"

The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, "It's OK."

"C'mon, c'mon now," urged the Leprechaun, "I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?"

Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers, "Once, sometimes twice a week."

"What??" responds the Leprechaun in shock. "That's all? Only once or twice a week?"

"Well," says the golfer, "I figure that's not bad for a Catholic Priest in a small parish."

Happy Veterans Day!!!  TLR
