A hero’s welcome: soldiers greeted with party after thousands return from overseas
1 Dec 2019
It was a day of celebration and relaxation for returning soldiers, their families, and the community members who gathered in Fifth Street Park to support them.
Devil Brigade is officially back from a nine-month deployment in Europe and the Military Affairs Council invited them and everyone who cares about them to a block party in their honor.
PFC Guillermo Ahumada brought his wife, Lonia Aghakian, and their one-year-old daughter Navianna to the event, where they enjoyed activities and park equipment.
