Local Marines Return Home From Iraq

CINCINNATI -- After five months overseas in Iraq, some local Marines have finally come home – with plenty of smiles and hugs upon their return.
The Marine detachment from Communications Company, Headquarters Battalion, 4th Marine Division touched down at noon this Saturday at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.
After landing, the Marines were then taken to Cincinnati State Technical & Community College in Clifton to be reunited with their families.
That's where the real party started, as cheers erupted as the company walked through the doors.
And for one of the Marines, that moment was overwhelming.
"Honestly, there's no words to describe it," said Lance Corporal Chad Hoeffler. "You will never understand that feeling unless you walk through those doors yourself. So, it was pretty intense. It was a wonderful feeling – it's great to be home."
While over in Iraq, the company maintained security and helped train Iraqi forces.

Thank You for Your Service and Welcome Home Marines !
