LANSING, Mich. (WZZM) -- Some West Michigan families are spending the evening with their loved ones after a year long deployment. About eighty Michigan soldiers returned home from Afghanistan.

It was an emotional homecoming for the 125th Infantry. The men and women did a twelve month deployment in Afghanistan.

There is still another wave of soldiers that will be returning home with the 125th Infantry. Many of those men and women are from West Michigan.
