A Huntsville family is having a celebration. Corporal Cody Majors was welcomed home Monday afternoon by his family and friends. Majors is on his second tour in Iraq. He’s home for some rest and relaxation.
Majors’ mom says she’s happy he’s home safe.
“It means the world to me that he’s coming home safe. I miss him, he’s been gone since February,” said Pam Majors.

June 9, 2009 by Nicki Faulk
Posted yesterday to Huntsville’s WAFF 48 News website, an article about a man who helps out a soldier and whose act of kindness would be paid forward when his own son needed it most.
There are still people that love soldiers, and will go out of their way and in this case above and beyond what anyone would imagine.
It’s a great story! You can read the whole article here, and view the video here.

According to the Shelby County Reporter, the Pelham Public Library is one of the latest to participate in Connecting Families, a partnership between the Alabama Public Library Service and the Alabama Broadband Initiative that allows military families to see and talk to each other via Web conferencing.
According to Barbara Roberts, library director:
Signing up is fast, free and easy. All one needs is an e-mail address and an account with Skype, a software program that allows telephone calls, instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing over the Internet. Library aides are available to set up e-mail and Skype accounts for those interested. And the library is willing to arrange Web conferencing sessions after hours to accommodate families.
It’s great to see more libraries participating in this wonderful program!
For more information, call Roberts at [205] 620-6418.
The Montgomery Advertiser published news yesterday that the 926th Engineer Brigade, an Army Reserve unit headquartered in Montgomery, has returned from Iraq.
Welcome home, brave heroes!
WKRG 5 News reported earlier this week with a heartwarming story about Private First Class Marshall Joslin, a soldier stationed in Iraq who had received letters from 4th graders at Knollwood Christian School. He had stopped by to say thanks to the children who’d written to him.

As volunteers honor our returning heroes by taking them fishing deep in the American wilderness, wounded veterans discover that sharing stories around a campfire helps them adjust to life back home.
This inspiring film was shown this July in Congress to help lawmakers understand some of the issues facing our returning soldiers and has been recommended by our country’s leading veterans advocacy groups.
This video is available on DVD through the Soldiers’ Angels Store, and costs $25.00 (this includes shipping).
