It’s going to be a glorious celebration. Sons, brothers, sisters and fathers are coming home.
With the liberation of Kuwait secure, United States military personel, once fighting to preserve freedom in the Persian Gulf, begin their long journey home to military bases and waiting family stateside.
And, while many feel jubilation upon their return, no one can feel more happiness than those families directly affected by the war.
Rachel Aylor of Sperryville said in the past seven months she has “been glued to the television set for information” about her son, Marine Cpl. Vincent “Pops” Aylor. With relief and happiness, Mrs. Aylor and her family await the arrival of their son, a 1987 graduate of Rappahannock County High School and a popular basketball player.
“When he called me on March 6,” she said with happiness in her voice, “I was just so happy to hear his voice.”
Cpl. Aylor should be aboard ship en route to his home base, San Francisco, right now.
During the March 6 phone call from Saudia Arabia with his mother, Pops said he was planning to leave for the United States on March 17.
