Welcome home Airman
Staff Sgt. Derik Campbell embraces family members at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., after returning from a six-month deployment to Iraq. Sergeant Campbell, an Air Force reservist in the 442nd Security Forces Squadron, returned home Feb. 29, 2008, along with approximately 30 other squadron members and Citizen Airmen from the 442nd Logistics Readiness Squadron. The reservists were greeted by senior leaders from the 442nd Fighter Wing and, more importantly, family members and friends. Security forces reservists provided air-base ground defense at Kirkuk Air Base, Iraq, while LRS members supported convoy operations. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. David Kurle)
