On Tuesday, October 14th the 140 members of the 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion's Delta Company returned home to Quantico after a six month deployment in the al Anbar Province of Iraq.  The 129 Marines and 11 Navy Corpsmen were greeted by family and friends waving flags and homemade signs.  Happily all of the Marines and sailors arrived home safely after completing their mechanized security mission.  The battalion now gets some well deserved time off to be with their families.

Susan - It's always great news to hear of these brave men and women coming back home to us.  I wish the same for them as you do - to be home soon - safe and sound!

Yvette - my prayers and thanks go to you and your family for the incredible sacrifices you all make for us.  Not just your husband but you, as well.  His service is appreciated and respected by all.

Aloha Irene-The Marines did amazing work in the Anbar province.  Once it was one of the most dangerous places in the country until the Marine Corps came in and quelled the violence.  Nowadays, it is rare to hear any bad news from Al Anbar.

Irene-everytime I see a family waiting for a loved one to come home from the War my heart skips a beat.  There are never enough words to say thank-you for continuing to  protect our country and our freedom.
