Manistee Welcomes Home Troops from Afghanistan

Posted: Updated:

After nearly a year away, Bravo Troop 126 from Manistee is home with their families today.

Inside the packed Armory the troops were welcomed home with hugs, tears and plenty of smiles.

Jennifer Rascher gave birth to her first child while her husband Logan was deployed. Today after months of waiting Logan met his son for the first time.

Once dismissed the Armory filled with cheers, screams, tears and laughs.

When Logan Rascher met his son for the first time he said there were no words to describe how he felt.

Kalin Franks was there for the reunion and followed the Rascher family's story.
