Coming Home
A good friend of my brother, Lance Cpl. Joe Lowe, finally returned home to Boise yesterday after recovering enough from the injuries he received in Iraq that have left him paralyzed. My mother was there at the airport for it, and said it was a huge reception. My brother is probably in Kuwait right now, should return to the states this weekend, and should hopefully get back to Boise with the rest of his Marine reserve unit on the fifteenth. Joe Lowe really wanted to be back home for that and got his wish. 12 Responses To "Coming Home"
Glad they are both getting back. Sorry to hear of your bro's friend injuries. I know you are looking forward to your brother's return. #1 - Posted by: RandyM on October 7, 2005 02:41 PMGlad to hear he's home in one piece, even if it's an injured piece. May God bless them both. #2 - Posted by: Erica on October 7, 2005 02:58 PMOh God. I wish I could write something worthy of this situation. I can't believe we have men like this. #3 - Posted by: Roger Glass on October 7, 2005 03:01 PMThe media would have you believe they are the exception. In America, they are closer to being the rule. #4 - Posted by: spacemonkey on October 7, 2005 03:07 PM"This injury has opened my eyes. In a way, I'm thankful that I have the outlook this has given me…I will accomplish more in this chair than I ever would have on two legs." I’m just speechless, and as I write this I’m getting all misty. I wonder if the Cindy Sheehan crowd will ever understand the sacrifices these brave soldiers make, and that they do so out of love of country and of freedom. I think the Iraqi people do, and that’s really what matters, but it would be nice if the rest of the world felt that way. I have a friend whose son came back from Iraq last year, and he said that if called back, he would go willingly and proudly. He’s a Marine too. Tell your brother that even though there are some who would wish the war in Iraq would end as Vietnam did, there are many more who hope for success and we will NEVER be silences nor cowed. #5 - Posted by: Pete on October 7, 2005 05:12 PMI want to express my unconditional respect and gratitude. Even though I´m not an American, I know what people like Lance Cpl Lowe are doing for all of us. But I cannot comprehend their sacrifice. So I bow my head. #6 - Posted by: werner on October 8, 2005 05:00 AMI am a personal friend of Joe Lowe with whom I worked for nearly two years on armored trucks in Boise together. I was activated first with Idaho's 116th CAV to deploy to Iraq and I heard Joe's Marine unit would be behind us by only a few months. I'm still in Iraq with only a month to go and have been unable to contact Joe since his injury. If someone could email me with his contact information I would be very thankful. Joe and Beth are a wonderful couple and good friends and I would like to get in touch to add my support. #7 - Posted by: SGT Walter Nau on October 8, 2005 07:39 AMI can't add anything to this thread, except God bless 'em both, and all the others over there. These are Americans. #8 - Posted by: Horrabin on October 8, 2005 11:25 AMI can't add anything to this thread, except God bless 'em both, and all the others over there. These are Americans. #9 - Posted by: Horrabin on October 8, 2005 11:26 AMI am so sorry to hear of your brother's friend injuries. I am so happy your brother will be returning home.Please tell him thank you for me. #10 - Posted by: Wild Thing on October 8, 2005 12:40 PMI'm glad to know that they are returning back. May God bless them. #11 - Posted by: Raquel on October 10, 2005 08:48 AMI can't even begin to express the respect I have for our soldiers and for Joe Lowe....he is a great guy and I am so proud of him. We're glad to have him home, may God Bless him and his family. #12 - Posted by: Megan J on October 21, 2005 01:15 AMPost a comment
