A band played as flags waved, and the crowd cheered as soldiers emerged from planes to sometimes tearful reunions with family members and friends at Standiford Field in Louisville, Ky.
Among the family members was Marian Frisby. Her husband, Larry, pastor of Freedom Baptist Church in Campbellsville, Ky., was back home preaching in the Sunday morning worship service. Nevertheless, the Frisbys -– Marian in Louisville and Larry in Campbellsville –- were eagerly awaiting the arrival of not one, but two of their three children.
