A National Guard unit has returned to Michigan after an 8-month deployment to Afghanistan.
About 130 members of the Army National Guard 464th Quartermaster Company came home three months early after having suffered no casualties or injuries.
More than 300 friends and relatives greeted the soldiers Sunday night as they arrived at the Guard's Lapeer armory. They included Stephen Moon of Grayling, who proposed to his girlfriend, Spc. Megan Heinlen of Stanton, and presented her with an engagement ring.
Heinlen accepted the proposal from Moon, who served in Iraq in 2004-2005.
A tear trickled down the cheek of Spc. Stephen Metz as he held his 3-month-old daughter Taylor for the first time. She was born Sept. 28, three days after the Muskegon native returned to Afghanistan from a leave.
