Yes Mac....it was a Miracle....here are the details

[Ken Neeley]

We buried my Dad yesterday, and the Red Cross got a message to Jonathan and he called early in the week and said he would be home for 48-72 hours..

He said he would arrive at 10:45 am Friday, the day after the funeral.



The service was at noon Thursday.....the church was packed with over 300 people. The service was beautiful, and right at the end, a dear friend of my parents, Sharon, was singing Amazing Grace at the close of the service.

Halfway through the song, I noticed movement in the aisle to my right, and did a double take...it was Jonathan!!!!!!!

My mother and I both jumped up right in the middle of Amazing Grace and started hugging and crying and kissing him...Sharon, God Bless Her, just kept on singing while we stood in front of the casket for a few minutes hugging and crying.

There wasn't a dry eye in the place....every person in that church was smiling and crying.

I know my dad was looking down on this, and I'm sure he was smiling too!!!



He gets to stay home until September 2nd!!

Tell Johathan thanks for the job he and his fellow Marines are doing. I'm glad that he made the service for your father. Once again prayers and best wishes.

Ken, I would also appreciate it if you would pass my thanks on to your son for the job he and all the others are doing. There are a lot of us vets out there that are really proud of they way they have performed and conducted themselves in a very difficult situation...
