Hope he got home safely.
Had a co-worker who left Friday night, right before SHIF Saturday.

Depends where. Kinda like Lebanon. But if you're not on the boarder. Generally safe. I know people that spend half the year there.

I hear Lebanon is a lot of fun to visit also. I will make it one of these days.

Good to hear the news. Welcome home!!!

I’d think that the quick escape was a good idea as things were crazy and the enemy was not really focusing on the little things at this point. In time I’d image 3 buses going across the desert might as well be a sitting target. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

You do know that you are retired and supposed to relax and enjoy life. That trip doesn't sound all that enjoyable man. Glad you made it back safe. But i'm sure it gave you time to think about what's important to you; Wife, Boat, Bear, Freedom, Safety ....

Hey Mike, do yourself a favor and have someone interview you (in widescreen with a cell phone) and post it on youtube. Guaranteed you'll make some $$ on that. Call me if you need help.
That would be awesome

Welcome home Mouzer. I just went to the local Jewish church to make a donation. I'm not Jewish but donate quite often to our local Jewish church that does a lot for the community. They now have an armed security guard there. The woman I gave my donation to said there is a rumor that the Arabs are going to go on a killing spree over the next few days to kill all Jews.

@MOUZER

You and your wife have been home and safe for a few days now. How are you guys doing? How is the processing going now that you are out of danger and safe and able to digest the events. Stay strong for each other.
