Advertiser Staff

About 150 Marines and sailors return to Hawaii Sunday after a seven-month deployment to Iraq.

The members of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363, the "Red Lions," will fly into Hickam Air Forse Base then go by bus to Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe, where they will greet family and friends.

The squadron was deployed to Al Asad, Iraq where they supported combat operations.
