Rex with his MRAP on a mission in Afghanistan.
From Liisa, SMSgt Temple’s wife: Rex is on his way home; he’s made it to Ali Asaleem, Kuwait. Before leaving his camp in Afghanistan Rex did one last “in country” interview with WUSF Radio’s Bobbie O’Brien about his deployment year, which aired last night in Tampa during NPR’s “All Things Considered” and again this morning during “Morning Edition.” You can hear the chat by clicking on this link
or if you’d like to read the entire transcript, it’s available here.

Afghanistan My Last Tour 
Rex, Happy you have safely finished this tour. Congratulations upon receiving the Bronze Star medal. Your work there has been admirable and effective. I am very proud of you and look forward to getting you back stateside.
God bless and thank you for your service to our nation.
Love, Aunt Lois
