DULUTH - After three months overseas, the final group of 148th Fighter Wing members are reunited with their families.

Troops touched down in Duluth just after midnight from Afghanistan.

Families and friends welcomed home more than 170 bulldogs at the Duluth International Airport.

Troops say they're happy to be home and are proud to have fought for our freedom.

This was the fourth major deployment for 148th troops, including three trips to Iraq.

The returning group is part of 300 other airmen who were deployed back in August.
