My brother, Ryan, called me and said he was returning early from his first tour of duty in Iraq and wanted to surprise the family. I picked Ryan up from the airport and we made stops at Mom's office, Dad's Office and our sister, Sarah's house. It was a very emotional day for all of us.

UPDATE: Ryan completed a second tour in Iraq in October 2008 and is living "happily ever after" with his wife Chelsea!
