Lots of smiling faces and spirited embraces were at the Marine Corps Armory in Jackson Saturday morning.
Members of the E-Battery or ECHO 2-14 Reserves arrived back home by bus after a seven month tour of duty in Iraq near the Syrian border. They spent a week at Camp Lejeune before flying out to the Jackson International Airport Saturday.
“The first person I saw was my sister. She came up, hugged me, then I saw my mother and later I'm going up the road to see my wife,” said Arthur Ware of ECHO Battery.
“These are my daughters, Destiny and Faith. They're three, and this is my youngest son Christopher, one and a half, and it's real great to be back home,” stated Adam Byrd of ECHO Battery.
Members of the ECHO Battery performed maintenance and supply duties overseas.
