VIENNA — Upon returning home, 13 security force members who were stationed in Iraq were thrilled to see snow on the ground.

After protecting their base in Kirkuk, Iraq, for six months, 12 men and one woman from the 910th Security Force Squadron returned home this afternoon to the Air Reserve Station here to rejoin family members who waved American flags and carried homemade signs.

“I’m ready to catch up with my family,” said 22-year-old Josh Moffie, taking moments to hug his crying mother Helen and father Sam.

Moffie will return to his Boardman home Friday after a debriefing at the air base here, where families will stay for the night.
