Hundreds of soldiers come home

FORT BRAGG — Hundreds of Fort Bragg troops will spend the holidays at home.

Thursday families welcomed home about 350 paratroopers from the 82nd sustainment brigade.

For the past 16 months those men and women have been doing what many say is a thankless job: providing logistical support and supplies for units in southern Iraq.

But now they have just one thing on their minds: getting back in the arms of their families and friends.
