Matt Millham 14th Public Affairs Detachment After waiting almost a year for their Soldiers to come home, the families and friends of the 68th Corps Support Battalion couldn’t help but glance at the door every few seconds Saturday. Any minute now, they were told, the unit would walk through those doors and into Fort Carson’s Special Events Center for their welcome home ceremony. A flurry of colored balloons, handwritten signs and hundreds of friends and family members — some in Halloween costumes — would be there to greet the Soldiers. When the doors finally opened, the center erupted as neat columns of Soldiers dressed in desert gear marched before the crowd. Maj. Gen Robert W. Mixon Jr., commanding general of the 7th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, and an old hand with events like these, kept his remarks under 50 words, telling the 68th, “We’re really, really proud of all of you.” The Army Song never seemed so long as the Soldiers, their families and friends tensed up for the dash to embrace. When the ceremony ended a moment later, the Soldiers and families collided with a year’s worth of pent-up emotion. In that swell of emotion, it was hard to find anyone who could muster more than a few words to Staff Sgt. Zachary West and his wife, Kelley, reunited Saturday after almost a year.

Driving on ... Soldier almost loses jaw, recovers, plans on SF

Story and photo by Spc. Aimee Millham Mountaineer staff On his way home from a year in Iraq, Sgt. Michael Edward Morphis suffered a gun shot wound to the face that nearly blew off his jaw and almost cost him his life. Now, on his way to full recovery, Morphis plans to go at it again; this time in high gear by joining the Army’s Special Forces. He’s not a glutton for punishment, he’s “just a Soldier doing his job,” said the former 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment Soldier. Morphis followed what he referred to as “his calling” eight years ago when he joined the Army to be a signal support Soldier. He joined knowing the risks involved, and he has no complaints. Anyone who notes the Army’s shortcomings should probably keep those comments to themselves around Morphis, he said. “I get so irritated by people who will do anything to get out of a deployment; (the Army) isn’t welfare,” Morphis said.
