Chicago family welcomes soldier home from Iraq

August 28, 2010 (CHICAGO) Family and friends welcomed Army Sgt First Class Reginald Hart home to the 8100-block of South Spaulding Avenue. He just completed an 11-month tour of duty in Iraq and returned home amid the U.S. troop drawdown in that country.

" I'm just glad to be back home, and I appreciate you all coming out here to greet me and everything you've done for me. Being a soldier is easy, coming home is always a blessing and I'm glad to be back," said Hart.

Sergeant Hart's tour of duty in Iraq was the second he had served overseas. The first was in Afghanistan.

After his leave, he will report to Fort Benning, Ga.
