Justin's Return to the States

Since February, I have been following the blog of Justin Jones for my research with the Saints at War project. Justin Jones is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and just completed a 423-day deployment to Afghanistan. I have really enjoyed reading his posts and it's been a great experience for me. His last post was on Wednesday and I almost started crying when I read it and saw the pictures of his reunion with his family. I'm so glad he made it home safe. It's interesting that I've been reading about his life even though he has no idea who I am, but I have a feeling I'll get to meet him one day.

I'm so glad I get to be a part of this project. It's come to be one of the things I am most passionate about. I love my work.
