110 Airmen Return to Vegas
Family and friends welcomed home 110 airmen to Nellis Air Force Base Sunday night just in time for the holiday.
Some families said the traditional Labor Day barbecue means even more this year because they will spend it with loved ones who had been serving a four-month stint in Iraq.
The airmen, assigned to the 58th and 66th Rescue Squadrons and the 763rd Maintenance Squadron, performed combat rescue operations, medical evacuation and humanitarian missions while at Joint Base Balad, north of Baghdad.
While deployed, they provided more than 2,000 hours of alert support, completed more than 400 missions and saved five lives through medevac missions.
