All Staff Sgt. James Jeane wants to do while he’s home on a two-week leave from Iraq is hang out with his family. James’ wife, Sunshine, and their four sons are happily complying.

“Just being here is enough,” James said.

Today the Jeane family is dining together on turkey and the trimmings at home. The simple family gathering rather than a large dinner with friends is what James desires most.

“I’ve learned not to take the small things for granted,” he said.

So have his wife and children.

“I’m glad he’s home for at least one holiday,” Sunshine said Tuesday as four boisterous boys bounced off each other and their dad in their Fort Wainwright duplex home.

James, a ranger medic with the 1-17 Headquarters Company, was deployed from Fort Wainwright in mid-August. His unit first landed in Kuwait for two weeks of acclimatization before moving on to the Mosul area in northern Iraq.
