ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The last remaining soldiers with the Alaska Army National Guard are coming home from Kosovo duty just in time for Thanksgiving.

Officials say the 18 soldiers are members of the Guard's 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment.

More than 100 other aviators have returned from Kosovo over the past week.

The Guard members have been deployed since November 2008.

Welcome home! I have good memories of Kosovo. It was a treat to go to Camp Bondsteel to the DFAC every month or so. I sure hope things have improved for the people there. It was looking pretty grim while I was there. As Americans, we have SO many things to be thankful for.
