For a number of airmen at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, it's been six months since they've seen their loved ones.
But now, members of the 563rd Rescue Group are coming home.
Seventeen airmen came back on a C-17 Tuesday night and more were soon to follow.
During their time overseas, this unit performed 24 rescue missions for the U.S. military, and also offered foreign assistance to small children in need of medical care.
Major Steve Ammons' wife can't wait for him to see how much their 10-month-old daughter has changed.
"I'm excited, excited for him to see her, how much she's grown, that's the most exciting piece," says Captain Carolyn Ammons from DM.
A total of about 70 airmen are returning home within the week.
Some of the same members of this rescue group will have to deploy again in September.
Sweet!!!
