Staff Sgt. Stacy Souza, 67th Aerial Port Squadron, pulls her son in for a hug after a five-month deployment to Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Rick Souza, Sergeant Souza's husband, played "Mr. Mom" to his three children while his wife was away, and left for basic military training four days after she returned. Twelve aerial porters returned home May 20, with eight more due home this week.
