Welcome home, Marines - Ap 10, '09
- 15 years ago
The Marines from the Headquarters and Service Company and the Weapons Company of the 2nd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment spent 3 months training in California and then 7 months in Iraq involved in counter-insurgency missions in Anbar province.
There was a quiet anticipation as everyone set-up and waited for the arrival of the troops. THEN...great excitement!! as the busses arrived BUT... then there was a bit more waiting for family and friends as they waited for their soldiers to de-bus and get their gear. Finally they greeted and hugged with more joyous cheers.
Many signs were held up for the soldiers and families to find each other in the crowd and then ...the peaceful, quiet as everyone headed home.
