More than 350 New Jersey National Guard troops returned home Sunday night after a history-making deployment to Iraq.
These soldiers were the final group of a deployment of 2,800 soldiers from the New Jersey National Guard - the largest single deployment of the New Jersey National Guard since World War II.
"My husband, I just thank God that he's home again. It's his second tour, so we're here just ready for him to march out," says Fay Bass, who welcomed home her husband Joe Bass.
"I'm very glad to be here," Joe Bass says. "It's been a long journey, but I'm glad, very glad."
