Welcome home
Staff Sgt. Denny Rindal cuddles his two-month old son, Grayson, and tenderly kisses his wife, Shannon, minutes after returning to Tinker following a six-month deployment. Mom and three-year-old son Dawson waited May 15 with Grayson and a sign speaking for the youngest who was born while the sergeant was supporting operations in Afghanistan. Approximately 150 552nd Air Control Wing Airmen stream off a jet May 15 onto a Tinker ramp, greeted by commanders and the applause and cheers of waiting friends and family. The Airmen returned from a six-month deployment to Southwest Asia supporting ongoing operations in Afghanistan. (Air Force photo by Margo Wright)
