NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- Members of the 914th and 107th Airlift Wings are coming home to cheers, hugs and kisses from family, friends and co-workers. The Reservists and Guardsmen were deployed jointly in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

For some members this was the fourth, fifth, or sixth time. Both Niagara units continue to support ongoing operations in the Middle East.
