Colorado Troops Spend Thanksgiving at Home

Troops at Ft. Carson in Colorado are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday after the last members of the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team arrived home from a tour of duty in Iraq Wednesday night.

There were cheers and tears at the base gym as the soldiers were reunited with their families. The 3,500-member brigade combat team has a month off before returning to duty and preparing for its next anticipated mission to Iraq in a year's time
