Yes, it's already Friday morning on that side of the world....Billy will be checking out, saying his "see ya later" to his Marine Family & heading on home to US.
I can only imagine what he must be feeling, a few of his close friends/family have already left Oki to move on to their new Duty Stations. He fell in with a good group of men & women, they cared for one another, encouraged one another and loved one another. As his friend Brian said in a group photo of all of them...."To Days That Become Nights and Friends That Become Family" ~ they will always have a bond with one another and I know that they will all be missing one another terribly....some will meet up again, Billy will be back with guys he went through Boot with, Catrina will be stationed down in DC (just up the road a spell from Lejenue ~ hehe)....Brian is heading off to Cali, a few of the others will be back in Oki finishing off their tour & heading who knows where!
All I know is that.....
Some heroes wear capes......mine wears combat boots!
