Photos: Hero’s Welcome As Soldier Returns From Afghanistan
September 11, 2011
A large crowded turned out in Flomaton Saturday morning with a hero’s welcome for a local soldier returning from Afghanistan.
All along Highway 113 and Highway 31, Chris Burnham was greeted by well wishers as he arrived home following six months in Afghanistan in the Air Force Reserves. The Master Sergeant has been in the service for 19 years — four years active service and 15 in the reserves.
“Thank you to everyone that came out today,” Burnham said. “It meant so much to me and my family to have everyone there.”
