Everyone should join in celebration

The more I think about Tuesday's homecoming for the 1140th Engineer Battalion of the National Guard, the more important it becomes. Just think about it. These brave soldiers are our friends, neighbors, family, co-workers. They left our community 14 months ago and traveled to the other side of the world in a conflict not of their making. And they did so willingly. That is truly the definition of sacrifice. And of service.
