returning home



I was privileged to cover the coming home celebration of some New Mexico troops from Iraq on Tuesday. I was nervous and overwhelmed when the troops got off the buses carrying them from El Paso, Texas. Right away there was a family that caught my eye and stuck by them for a few minutes . The scene played out before me. Mr. Dodson was returning home and to his family after six months of duty in Iraq. Here he holds his daughter while his mother runs to greet him. The event took place at the Rio Rancho Armory.
