Hello!! We finally heard from Dave today!!! He was exhausted! Sounded like he was going to fall asleep while we talked! He was in Wisconsin, and said he should be home some time next week. I asked him were he was going to be released from, DesMoines, or Sioux City, he said he wasn't sure, but he hoped it would be DesMoines. He was so tired, it got to where I couldn't understand me!! He said that he would call us tomorrow. (Wednesday, the 20th) I asked him if they were having a homecoming ceremony, and he said there would be one in Sioux City, DesMoines and maybe Boone (?) I can't remember the third one. I then asked if we should go, and he asked why?? He just doesn't get it!!! He said it wouldn't be many people, around 50 or so. I then checked my email, and saw this.. I will let you know what else I learn!
