If you know someone who is coming home after fighting overseas, please share the information with WXII 12 News and WXII12.com! Let us know the person's name, where they have been stationed and when they'll return home. Also, please provide a phone number -- we might contact you for more information.

My son-in-law Michael Puckett of Thomasville is stationed at Oceana Navy Base in Virgina Beach. VA. He has been out to sea on the U.S.S. Eisenhower since October 3, 2006. They are providing close air support and reconnaissance missions for International Security Assistance Force troops on the ground in Afganistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Michael's first child Emma Elizabeth was born on October 22, 2006 in Greensboro. Michael's ship is due to return to Virginia Beach around May 24, 2007. We are all impatiently awaiting his return and to see his face when he sees his beautiful daughter live for the first time. Contact number is 336-605-9616
Thanks.

Our oldest son Craig is a SSG Medic stationed at the US Embassy Annex in Bagdhad and is due home the first week in January for a short leave. He has been there since last April and before that was in Ft Benning as an Instructor for 18 months. He is an employee of Air Care Ground Transport and his two sons (8 and 14) are anxious to have him home. Our other son (also a SSG in Civil Affairs) got back in May of this year after a year in Tal Afarr Iraq, where he was assigned as a bodyguard to the Mayor. He had been active for 10 years and served in Masadonia and Bosnia as well as other areas. His twin daughters (7) are glad he is home and trying to finish his engineering degree. Having one son on deployment is hard enough let alone having two of them there if even for a short while.
Kindest Regards, Randy

Our son, Spc. Michael T. Fussell, Jr. came home from Iraq with the 5-113FA. We wanted to thank everyone for their support and prayers. However, we have another son over there. Sgt. Joshua D. Fussell is in Iraq with the 1451st Trans. unit from Boone. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. All of our service men and women need our support. They are serving so we all can be safe and free. I would like to take the time to thank all of those who serve in our armed forces. Thank you for your selfless service. Sincerely Sherry Livingston Pinnacle, NC
