The extended family of Jordan Oswald welcomed the soldier home Saturday afternoon at Riverside Park.
Jordan arrived back in the United States Friday after having been deployed with the U.S. Air Force in Afghanistan for seven months. His return was kept a surprise to daughter Lainey, 6, who ran into his arms when she saw him.
Family members joined in the event, including grandparents Brent and Carla Capper and Mike and Leah Oswald. Jordan was on active duty with the Air Force for seven years and the last two has been in its reserves. He has had previous deployments to the Middle East and Korea.
Welcome home
