Hugs And Tears As 200 Calif. Soldiers Come Home

More Local News
STOCKTON (CBS13) ― There were lots of hugs and kisses in Stockton Thursday morning as nearly 200 California National Guard soldiers returned home for the first time in more than a year just in time for Thanksgiving.

The soldiers from the California National Guard's 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment flew into Stockton Metropolitan Airport and were greeted by hundreds of family and friends carrying signs, balloons and flowers.

The soldiers are returning from a yearlong deployment to Kosovo where they were part of a peace-keeping mission.

"I am proud and honored to welcome home the Soldiers of our California National Guard, who for the last year successfully provided security and stabilization for the people of Kosovo," said Maj. Gen. William H. Wade II, adjutant general of the California National Guard. "It is fitting that these Soldiers are home just in time for Thanksgiving so we can thank them and their families for their selfless service."

The soldiers are from cities throughout Northern California.
