Troops Return Home to New President

As Barack Obama began the first full day of his presidency, there was a homecoming for troops returning from Iraq.

About 80 troops from the army's 63rd Signal Battalion Company B came home early this morning. They reunited with family and friends in a gym at the Fort Gordon army base near Augusta, after serving in Iraq for 15 months.

These troops return home to a new president, one who wants to end the war. Obama has said he wants to pull troops out of Iraq during the next 16 months.

"I'm happy to have a new president, and I'm ready for change," said Sgt. Kimberly Miller, declined to say who she voted for. "Hopefully the deployments will slow down and all of our comrades will get home safely."

During their time in Iraq, Miller and her fellow troops maintained communications, such as internet and telephones, for the army.
