Even before learning that he would be returning via DFW I had planned to travel to Dallas to volunteer with my buddies Caroline and Jamie aka The USO Girls. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me to be in Dallas but Jamie and Linda (one of the huggin' and kissin' grannies) made sure 1SG Burton got a proper send off.

1SG Burton picked a great day to fly via DFW (well, if anything about going back to Afghanistan can be considered "good"). It was Jamie's 4th anniversary of volunteering at the USO. HOOAH Jamie!

We hope you had safe travels but MOST OF ALL that you and your men continue to stay safe for the remainder of your deployment. We cannot wait to welcome you all HOME.
Many thank yous to Jamie and grandma Linda and to ALL of the incredible USO volunteers who do what they do for our military personnel and their families day in and day out.

Wow. I remember Ron when he was a Specialist in 82d. I didn't think he'd be a lifer, but I'm not even slightly shocked that he turned out to be the honorable man he has.
Making an old man grateful to have served with him on his first deployment, and very happy to know troops were in his hands.
He's always been good people to the few of us that still keep in touch. Several of us would love to say hello again.
All The Way!
(May you have that Vanagon and the good life!)
