Pleased to say that my son came home very recently in one piece and whilst having seen some harrowing things he believes we are there to make things better. I knew I'd be proud of him but ............. He gave us a certificate marking our 25th wedding anniversary together with the actual American flag that was flying over Bastion on that day (together with photo). He also got a commendation from the The U S Commander for his "efforts" whilst there (another certificate) so all is good at the Baker household 
I am glad that all your worries are gone now.

Thanks for the replies chaps, they are very much appreciated. Peedee he says he will be having a medal and honours ceremony at some point soon after he goes back on the 11th Sept. He should have been awarded his medal for the Libya operation but it was while he was away so he'll get them both together I would think.
Thanks again Andy
P.S. David you were nearly as pleased as me

Ah, now I see
and his mum is so happy she is already nagging about "the shoes left in the hall, the dirty clothes on the landing, the always empty fridge" and don't get me started on how much toilet roll we've been using since he got back - anyway thanks David I wouldn't swap him for the world . Andy
