40 Marines and sailors return from Afghanistan

Approximately 40 Marines and sailors are scheduled to return to Hawai'i today after a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan.

The Marines will meet their families on Marine Corps Base Hawaii at the 3rd Marine Regiment Headquarters building early this morning.
