Soldiers return from Afghanistan

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (AP) - About 120 soldiers are scheduled to return home to Alaska from Afghanistan.

U.S. Army Alaska officials say in a release that the Muleskinners from the 109th Transportation Co. will be reunited with family on Thursday.

The soldiers deployed last June, and have provided transportation and convoy security for the U.S. military and Afghanistan forces.

Soldiers will meet up with their family members in the Buckner Physical Fitness Center at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
