Local families were reunited with loved ones who were deployed overseas for months. The 314th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion is back home from Kuwait.
The unit spent months keeping soldiers supplied with food and water to soldiers as they headed from Kuwait to Iraq.
For many families, the reunion couldn't come soon enough. One military wife laughed as she said she had counted the days and it was exactly one year and 9 days. Family members made decorations to show how much they missed the troops.
“Over the past few weekends, we've been doing posters at home and stuff,” said Brittany Coffey, military daughter.
“I was a reservist myself. It's a pretty proud moment,” said John Winterfeld, a military father who waited for his military son.
The younger Winterfeld said it felt good to be back home.
“Everything. We got into the airport. Even just listening to the slot machines was nice and I hate that,” said Spc. John Winterfeld, 314th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion.
Reunion after reunion, each family reconnected.
“It's a good feeling. It's a good feeling to know that we're missed,” said Master Sgt. Michael Coffey, 314th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion.
