HILL AIR FORCE BASE — After months of service, a group of Utah airmen returned home from Iraq on Thursday.
More than 100 maintenance professionals from the 388th Fighter Wing returned to Hill Air Force Base Thursday night.
The airmen have been gone since August 2004, when they were sent to maintain security and stability in Iraq by providing close air support for coalition ground troops.
