TERRE HAUTE— The Marines and staff of the Terre Haute Marine reserve center are preparing for a company’s homecoming.

Members of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines are expected to return from Iraq either April 28 or 29, said 1st Sgt. Troy Euclide.

They will be flown into St. Louis and bused back to Terre Haute with a police escort, he said.

Kilo Company was mobilized in June and left for Fallujah, Iraq, in September. Members participated in combat operations from foot patrols to gathering intelligence on the enemy.

“You name it, they were doing it,” Euclide said.

A homecoming celebration at the reserve center on Fruitridge Avenue with family and friends is planned.
