This week, they came home.
About 100 members of the 1st Battalion, 158th Infantry Regiment began returning to Arizona on Thursday.
The rest of the unit will be home over the next several days.
The group, known as the Bushmasters, aided in a February rescue operation after a helicopter carrying Sens. John Kerry, Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel made an emergency landing.
Two members of the unit were killed in action while deployed: Staff Sgt. Charles Browning of Florence and Pfc. Mykel Miller of Phoenix. An additional 24 soldiers were wounded in action.

Welcome home to our heroes. It would be nice to have a parade for them in the near future.
Thanks to each of these men and women, and their families, for their exemplary service and sacrifice.
