Chambersburg Public Opinion reports that another 300 56th SBCT soldiers returned home Wednesday morning.

About 300 more soldiers with the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team arrived in Fort Dix, N.J. at 4 a.m. Wednesday, following a tour of duty in Iraq. Their arrival marks the second wave of troops to return this week.

The soldiers are members of the 2nd 112th Infantry Regiment. They are from the Bellefonte and Lewistown areas. Others, including the soldiers from the Chambersburg, Waynesboro and Gettysburg areas, are expected in the next week or two.

Family members of Gettysburg's Bravo Battery, 1st Battalion, 108th Field Artillery, will head to the Gettysburg armory on Sunday, where they will decorate the facility with "Welcome Home" signs and banners.
