Friends and families gathered to cheer on 50 Utah veterans who returned home today from a three day trip to Washington D.C..

“Today some little girls came up to me and asked me if they could shake my hand and thank me for what I’ve done and gave me a big hug and it was just tremendous,” said George Horton who served in the Philippines, Okinawa, was part of the initial invasion of Japan and hit 15 islands during the war, all at the age of 17.

Memories were shared and new friends were made as these men and women visited memorials they bravely fought for. “I had some wonderful memories, I can’t remember them all,” said Ralph Emery.

They landed home earlier today and were greeted to a heroes welcome. “Excellent, today was beautiful,” said Horton.
