JOLIET, Ill. -- A group of almost 50 Marines returned home from Afghanistan on Sunday.
A ceremony was held to celebrate their arrival just outside of Chicago.
The unit has been building relationships with the Afghani people for the past several months.
Now with six days left until Christmas, these Marines are just happy to be in the arms of their loved ones.
