Bare with me for a moment….
Some folks like to getaway
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But he’s takin’ an air force jet on the outbound Afghanistan line
He’s in a New York state of mind!
He’s seen all of the local folk with their loaded camel or a jingle truck
Been traveling round the country under the radar & praying for luck
He knows what he’s needing and he doesn’t want to waste more time
He’s in a New York state of mind!!!
Yes, it is true – Josh is on his way home!!! At 11:30 am local time on December 18 (2:00 am Eastern time in the US), Josh’s flight departed Afghanistan.
He is currently in Krygyzstan for some out-processing. Krygyzstan is northeast of Afghanistan, near China. It's 11 hours ahead of us. (Way to fly east to go west!!) We do not know how long he will be there, but know that they will be traveling/demobilizing for about 2 weeks before arriving in New York. Home for Christmas is definitely not an option, but maybe for New Years! Regardless, he is safe and will be home soon! He called shortly after I arrived at work, and I have yet to take off my coat or change out of my sneakers!! Who cares!!!
We'll keep you posted as the good news continues to come in!!
