The final flight of soldiers from 3rd Infantry Division’s headquarters, who served in Afghanistan with U.S. Forces – Afghanistan mission, came home on Veterans Day, fitting for the newest generation of veterans. Every soldiers’ homecoming event feels like Veterans Day, as people dress in patriotic clothing, wave American flags and hold signs, eagerly anticipating their loved ones’ arrival. The excitement was evident as children ran around laughing and soldiers chattered enthusiastically as they waited for their buddies to return.
