14. Actually, no.
As far as I understand it, she adopted the two boys. So, she's their mother.

He and Hunter were blessed enough to have two mothers.

Del. Air Guard members return after 1 year in Iraq

The Associated Press

FORT DIX, N.J. - About 100 soldiers with the Delaware Air National Guard's 261st Signal Brigade , including Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden , are returning from Iraq.

Guard officials said the soldiers will be reunited with their families Friday at Fort Dix., N.J., after a year in Iraq.

The brigade was responsible for maintaining communications networks and ran the Baghdad Signal University. Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, worked as a military lawyer.

The vice president saw his son during a visit to Iraq last week. He was not expected at Fort Dix on Friday, but plans to be at a homecoming ceremony next week in Dover.

10. He was over there a year.
So I guess that means he's home for good? Someone who knows will tell us.

11. one of the greatest feelings
in the world - when a loved one returns. i'll never forget my relief and happiness when my older sister came home from the middle east, even though her job was not as risky as some. the worry never stops until they're back in the states.

34. His dad feels the same way -- and he's committed to our troops.
See my sig line -- he's been fighting for our troops (fighting to get them MWRAPS to better protect them) and our veterans with all his heart.
