Smiles and open arms filled part of the Albany International Airport Sunday as two soldiers returned home.
Sgt. Bill Pobran is home for two weeks. Pobran is a supply sergeant for the U.S. Army in Iraq. He said it's been tough overseas, but it's nice to see the progress.
"Everybody's making a difference over there. A lot of the Iraqis are glad that we're there, and there's always a few that aren't, but we're making a difference," he said.
And Imants Shrederis also returned from Iraq. He's a Humvee mechanic and said although the morale of the troops is high, he's glad to be back home.
He said, "Got a lot of support from back home, lots of people sending mail and everything. It's really good over there."
Both soldiers said they are looking forward to a home-cooked meal
