A Soldier Returns

When Haydee Miller heard her son, John, was coming home, Su Wieland and Celeste Caparulo organized the whole school to sign a huge welcome home banner. The original plan was to send the banner to California where it would be hung in the barracks for the soldiers returning to Camp Pendleton in San Diego. The men will be stationed at the base until December when they will be allowed to come home for a month long leave. John will return to Camp Pendleton after the New Year and currently has orders for a second tour in September of 2007.

The banner was signed and sent a couple of weeks ago. Then Haydee found that she could fly to San Diego and greet John in person! She flies out on Wednesday, the 18th, and will be seeing her son for the first time in many months on Thursday. They will spend four days visiting family in the San Diego area before she returns to work at Craig.
