Transition back to Frankfurt and to the USA

Saying our final goodbye to the troops at Kandahar we boarded a C-130 taking us to a military base in Kyrgystan where we transfered to a C-135 heading back to Frankfurt Germany. It was an amazing moment, I'm sure that many of our troops experience: stepping off of that C-135 only hours out of that unforgiving environment of Afghanistan onto and into the lush, moist, floral environment of Frankfurt! Amazing moment!

That next morning we boarded our civilian flight, arriving in Dallas some eight hours later and then back to good ole Alabama and a great reception by our loved ones and friends, just another one of those special moments.

Speaking for the three of us, it was an honor to stand before our men and women in uniform throughout Afghanistan. What a joy to lift them up, encourage them, to express our (your) appreciation for their personal sacrifice for our freedom's sake and to spend time before God's amazing Throne of Grace and Mercy with the body of Christ.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
