Boston-Based Soldiers Welcomed Home From Iraq

BOSTON (AP) ― A Boston-based Army Reserve unit returned home Saturday after a 13-month deployment that included nine months in Iraq.

The 719th Transportation Battalion was welcomed home by family and friends at a special ceremony at the Westin Boston Waterfront.

Senator John Kerry spoke at the event.

More than 60 members of the unit from across New England were deployed in March 2007.

Commander Lieutenant MacKinnon says the 719th's main mission was to provide movement control over Iraq's roads.
