Island Images: Soldiers return home
1st Lt. Jonathan King looked into the eyes of his 4-month-old daughter, Lily, for the very first time after returning back from Afghanistan on Tuesday at Wheeler Army Airfield. King, along with 235 other soldiers from the Third Brigade Combat Team, were reunited with their friends and families after a year long deployment in Afghanistan. The soldiers are the part of the initial wave of 3,500 military personnel returning in the coming weeks.
