Today, I was sitting on my back porch all day BBQing steaks, drinking beer, kissing my wife, and playing with my 3 and 5 year old boys. Yesterday I finished my third and final tour of duty with the 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment in Iraq. It feels great to be home. MMT

That is the best thing ive heard all day. I created an account just to say welcome home and thank you so much.

I, too, only made an account to tell you how heart warming your story was. I don't know how much it'll mean coming from a complete stranger, but thank you for serving this country. I'm joining the military as well, I'm glad you came home safe.

thank you

Made my day. Thanks for your service, and God bless.

I can't wait until the day my husband can say this. Thank you for your service!

I thank your wife for raising two young kids and possibly juggling a job of her own while you were overseas.

I also just made this account right now just to say thank you so much for keeping our country safe. It's people like you that GMH. I'm glad you're home safe and get to be with your wife and your children. Hope you get to have thousands of more days like this. God Bless â

Thank you for all your hard work for us. You lived some really miserable days so we would be safe. I have prayed for God to bless you and your family. Tell you wife (If you don't mind) thank you for waiting for her husband at least there is 1 woman who stands by her man.

This is wonderful, definitely one of my favorite MMTs. Thank you for your service, you're an amazing human being, and I'm glad you can now spend some quality time with your wife and children.
