168th Division May Arrive Home Monday
By TIM JOHNSON and COURTNEY BRUMMER
Members of the 168th Infantry Division of the Iowa National Guard will likely return home Monday, officials confirmed Friday night.
Lt. Col. Greg Hapgood with the Iowa National Guard in Des Moines said while he could not confirm a specific time, Monday appeared to be the day the troops would return to Council Bluffs.
"I can't set a time, we haven't gotten those orders yet," he said. "It's looking very likely that they'll be back Monday."
Hapgood added that he should know more specifics on arrival time sometime today.
Whenever the time may be, a welcome-back reunion will be held soon after the troops arrive back in Omaha. The ceremony will be held at the Mid-America Center.
