Soldiers of the 117th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard, were welcomed home by family, friends and New Jersey National Guard leadership from a nearly yearlong deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom at the Armory at West Trenton, N.J., Jan. 20, 2013. The nearly 70 soldiers of the 117th transported supplies to more than 45 forward operating bases and combat outposts covering more than 2 million miles.
