How about this?
Please join us on ______, 2006 at __:__ for a welcome home party for my son who will be coming come on leave from the military!
No need to bring a gift or food. Just bring yourself and a healthy show of support for one who is willing to serve their country.
(PS - ignore those who post inappropriate answers! People like your son are the ones who keep the buffoons from being drafted)
I hope the party will be a blast and may God bless you and your son for being selfless people!

Kirby, I am going to take you at your word here. And if your situation is what you say it is, then let me talk directly to you. It is not easy for any father to see a son go off to war. Not for any mother, brother or sister. It is hard for everyone. I send you personally my best support. You will be alright, Kirby. And for your whole family. You all hang together. He is going to be ok. And so are all of you.

I don't think a party is appropriate. War is serious.
Think before you do something so inappropriate for the occasion.
