Four Oklahoma soldiers are back home with their families. They arrived at Tulsa International Airport to a hero's welcome Friday evening and there was quite a surprise for Specialist Joe Bray. His car was hit hard in last week's hail storm. On Friday night, he found out a local company is picking up the repair tab.

"I'm really glad that someone else was gonna help me in my time of need," said Spc. Joe Bray.

Specialist Bray is home for a month, and then he has to head back to the Middle East.

Two other soldiers are back for good and family and friends were there to celebrate.

Sergeant Shawna Johnson says she's waited a long time to hold onto her girls.

Sergeant Kevin Bemo isn't sure what's he's looking forward to most.

One thing both agree on, there's no place like home.

"It's wonderful. I've waited a long time.  I've waited a long time," said Sgt. Shawna Johnson.

"It's real nice to be back and see everybody and get back to a normal way of living," said Sgt. Kevin Bemo.

Sergeant Bemo also got a little surprise; his family's taking him on a cruise.
