Middle: On July 23, 2009, more than 250 airmen returned from a 60-day tour in Iraq and were met by more than 500 people at Buckley Air Force Base. Bottom: Staff Sergeant Scott Chambers returned to more than a welcome-home kiss from his wife, Jennifer Chambers. Their daughter, Jovan Brooklen Chambers, was born while he was away.
