First off Welcome him home for me, I bet he will be happy with a nice home cooked meal and maybe some beer, However my hubby when he came home he was so tired. He wanted the remote.

first make sure he wants one. I'm serious a lot of guys coming home do not want to be surrounded by a lot of people right away. If he does then put up some banners, decorate a cake with the traditional red white and blue. Try to keep things a little on the not to wild side. He probably messed Christmas and his birthday you might get him a present for each one of those. Have all his friends and family members send him email cards that you can print off the computer. I'm so glad for him and all of you to hear some happy news that one of our troops is coming home! Please tell him thank you from Oklahoma!

Make sure it's something he really wants and is capable of handling.. he may just want to relax in the company of family for a few weeks to unwind and de stressify.
Seriosuly, he may not be comfortable with showing up and immediately being accosted by a huge gathering of well wishers. I sincerely hope you aren't planning on having the party the first night he's back..I'd wait a couple of weeks at least.
Then, find out what kind he wants.. does he want just family? high school buddies? the entire neighborhood? Full on catered affair with open bar, or just a simple backyard BBQ?>

Steak that was homecooked and beer were my hubby's favorites apon returning. Dont overwhelm him with a lot of people though. They tend to get stressed out with that. Also realize that things are not going to be the same for awhile. they see lots of stuff over there that normal people would never dream of seeing so he may b e very uptight for like a few months to even a year after returning. Also, he probably wants to shower as soon as he gets home as they dont have a good shower system there. Just ease him into daily life. Good luck!

The best thing would be to make it small, intimate, and not too much noise. He will have a hard enough time just realizing he is finally back home, and not having to deal with the IEDs, the things lobbed at him, the snipers, and everything else bad he has experienced. Give him some space, and just be there if he wants to talk. Family is best -- he can ease back into friends at a later date.

I would talk to some of his buddies that are here and see if they can come up with ideas of what he would enjoy. I am just guessing because I have no idea what it is like to serve in the military, but I think he would just like to have a quiet family and friends barbecue or something like that. He actually may need to have a little time to himself when he first gets home. I would not try to surprise him, I would ask him if he would like you to organize a get together because all the family and friends want to see him and let him know how happy they are to have him back home.

Take it easy, take it slow, ask him how large or small he might wish it to be. If he needs space, let him have it and don't get offended. He is coming from a part of the world where nearly everything is different. Most of it against what he was taught to expect and believe. He will have a lot to absorb in too short of a time span.

First off - do _not_ try to hold the party on the day he returns. He is going to be sleep-deprived and severely jet-lagged. Expect him to get home and then fall asleep the moment he stops moving.
And it is better to keep the party small and limited to family and close friends.
