Hundreds Of Local Marines Return Home From Iraq
News 8 San Diego
Hundreds of local Marines and Sailors are back home in San Diego after spending nearly a year in Iraq.
Members of the 1st Marine Logistics Group received a hero's welcome Friday afternoon at Camp Pendleton. For many of them, making a difference in the lives of Iraqis was a top priority during this deployment.
"I loved going out there and interacting with the children at the schools," said Marine Gunnery Sgt. Willie Ellerbrock. "Whenever we did some of the civil affairs-type of missions where we interacted with the schools and hospitals, the reception we got was amazing, amazing."
While in Iraq, the Marines and Sailors helped maintain order in the al Anbar Province.
