Spc. Justin Camp, from near Sandusky, receives a hug from his mother, Annette Camp, after getting off the bus Friday afternoon on the campus of Shawnee State University.

The Camp family hit the road at 7 a.m. and joined hundreds of other friends and family at the Vern Riffe Center to greet the Ohio Army National Guard’s 216th Engineer Battalion, Company B.
