GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. — On Tuesday, Grissom rolled out the early morning red carpet to welcome home a special group of Reserve Citizen Airmen at the end of their long journey back home. Three KC-135R Stratotankers and 18 Airmen from the 434th Air Refueling wing were greeted by friends, family and fellow Airmen Jan. 8, following a deployment to Southwest Asia. Family members were also greeted by a large group of resource providers there to help them reintegrate back into their daily lives. The group of Airmen returning were the first of many groups who have recently deployed, or are preparing to deploy from one of the largest activations the base has had since 9/11.
