368th Engineer Battalion returns home (in January)

I meant to post these photos a while back, but I have been slacking on my blog since the primaries.

A year ago, I photographed their departure ceremony as they were heading to serve in Afghanistan.  I bumped into a lot of familiar faces from that day and couldn't help be a little emotional when it was announced the battalion suffered no casualties during their tour. I have absolutely no connection to any of these people, but it's hard not to get caught up in the moment when you see how emotional and meaningful a ceremony like this is for the families and soldiers seeing each other after a year.
