Description

Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, love, peace, compassion, mercy, goodbye, and hello. Some claim Aloha is derived from Hawaiian words meaning "presence", "breath of life" or "essence of life".

I dedicate this to a man who just turned 21 and is in Iraq right now, but will return soon. His long service is ending for him and his team. :sprint:
THEY WILL RETURN SOON! :sprint:

SO I say ALOHA! Hello (welcome HOME) US, Goodbye to the sand and Love! Love? Love is how I feel when I think of those who serve. You have to love the committment, strength and dedication to anyone who says I STAND UP FOR HONOR and Freedom to serve others. :#1:

So Andrew ALOHA & Mahalo (thank you)! WELCOME HOME AND HAPPY 21st Birthday man!

TELL YOUR TEAM ALOHA FOR ME!

Update from Andrew:
I like it as well as the rest of my crew.. one friend even has it as his desktop backround :D when i get i would like to perhaps buy large print and get a frame for it etc :D I always had dreamsof living on a sailboat and sailing the world (when i was 12 my dad lived on a sailboat and we would sail to the bahamas and spend like a month) so the sailboat in the backround added a special touch to me..

Everyone says ALOHA back to you, and appreciates the photo and kind words very much!

I think we will be alright, and i cant wait to get back.. leave in 3 days

**Update Andrew set foot on US soil the 3rd week of April! WELCOME HOME HERO!
