Oklahoma soldiers welcomed home day before Thanksgiving

Just in time for Thanksgiving, more than 100 members of Oklahoma's National Guard arrived at the Broken Arrow Armed Services Reserve Center Wednesday night.

KRMG's told the unit had been serving a six-month deployment in the Ukraine as part of a joint, multi-national training group. They also provided training support to Ukrainian forces.

The soldiers were thrilled to see their friends and family.

“I’ve been waiting for this feeling,” one soldier said.  “I’m proud of everything we did over there, but I’m happy to be home.”

More soldiers from the unit are expected to return home over the next couple of weeks.

Feel free to thank the soldiers in the comments.
