The Minnesota National Guard's 851st Vertical Engineer Company of 160 soldiers returned from Kuwait to family members at the St. Cloud Armory on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.
The company was on tour for nine months and took part in military unit construction projects in Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan, according to the Associated Press.
KARE 11 interviewed Alisha Solway, who found out she was pregnant when her husband went overseas. Her husband, Sgt. Solway, was able to come back in time to see their baby's birth, but then had to return to service, KARE 11 reported.
Alisha told KARE 11 that she was anxious and excited to see her husband again after his deployment. Their baby, Colton, is now 2 months old, according to KARE 11.
"I think Colton is very excited to see his daddy again. Even has a shirt... 'Get out of my way. I get my daddy back today,'" Alisha told KARE 11.
