The soldiers are expected to arrive at the airport early Saturday afternoon.The soldiers will ride with their families in decorated cars, Barb Wacholz, co-coordinator of the family support group for Battery B, said.
"We want anybody and everybody to come out to this," Sgt. John Berndt of the Aberdeen-based battery said.
Celebrations are also planned for troops returning to Sisseton, Redfield, and Pierre. Really, you should go.
