On Nov. 21, the day before Thanksgiving, a few hundred Marines flew into March ARB just barely making it home in time for turkey and cranberry sauce. The Marines are stationed at 29 Palms, Calif., and had been pulling a combat tour in the Middle East. Volunteer Laura Froehlich (center) and John Martin (left) from the base fire department were joined by several siren-blaring fire trucks to greet the troops as they stepped off the aircraft and back onto American soil.
