Wearing his black Stetson cavalry hat, Sgt. 1st Class Joseph "Joey" Prichard of Omaha embraces his wife Samantha Prichard on Thursday at the Nebraska National Guard base in Lincoln. This was the second deployment for Prichard, with the first in 2010 to Afghanistan. "It's always a surreal moment. It doesn't hit you until you see them, you know you're coming home," he said.
