A well written piece about Marines returning home to Camp Lejeune from the war.
When Sgt. Matt Speights came home, he expected a lot of catching up with his infant son Caleb, born in January during his nine-month deployment.
But it threw Speights a curve when 2-year-old son Joshua didn't believe that the man who came off the airplane was Daddy.
With a head of hair and desert uniform, the real Speights contrasted starkly with the picture of him at home - showing him with a shaved head and dress blues.
"He said, 'Mommy, we have to go get Daddy. He's coming home on a boat,'" recalled Speights, 25. "He wasn't convinced I was his dad."
