INDIANAPOLIS -- A group of about 60 Indiana Marines returned home from Iraq at Indianapolis International Airport Saturday afternoon.
Two members of Kilo Company were killed, which left a tinge of sadness hanging over the celebration, 6News' Cheryl Jackson reported.
Proud father Ed Deblecourt was happy to see his son come home a year after he left for Iraq.
"(I'm) very much proud of him. I can't tell you how proud I am," Deblecourt said.
"(We had) a lot of sleepless nights, wondering if the phone was going to ring, but we made it day by day," Deblecourt's wife said.
"It feels great to be back home. To be back in Indiana, it feels awesome," Brian Deblecourt said.
About 100 Patriot Guard Riders took part in the ride to Terre Haute.
