It's not everyday you get a welcome home like this, but for most of the families of the seven Utah Airmen, out of Hill Air Force Base, who flew back from Iraq Wednesday morning this is the last time.
"It's been tough," said Randall Williams, husband of Airman Margaret Williams.
"It's good to have him home, and know that I won't have to shovel snow," said Amy Bortz, wife of Airman Carl Bortz.
For some being back is simply overwhelming.
"I didn't wear my uniform because I'm a little nervous with the recognition, wherever you go people are stopping me, thanking me for my service," said Master Sgt. Margaret Williams, 75th Force Support Squadron.
They're part of 300, Air Force service members who arrived home Wednesday; they're literally the last military to leave Iraq.
"It was something to remember actually because a lot of people have gone over and lost their lives in Iraq, but to be one of the last few, was a good memory," said Master Sgt. Carl Bortz, 75th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
"It still really hasn't set in to know that I was one of the last five people to step on the aircraft and my squad were the last ones to clear the airfield and put everybody else on the plane. Let's go home. Let's go home," said Master Sgt. Daniel Bosche, 75th Security Forces Squadron.
This time they're not only home, but most are home for good.
