Families Prepare for the Return of Airmen

Eighty-nine Airmen from Tinker Air Force Base will return home from service just in time for Veterans Day.   Eager family members awaited their return Sunday.

"It's kinda surreal, kinda like when you're getting ready to walk down the aisle again," said Erika Watts who's husband, SSgt. Adam Watts, will return Sunday night.

The Airmen spent six months in Southwest Asia in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
    
"It marks and celebrates everything that he's done, not only for our family, but for our country," Erika said.

During his deployment, Erika says her husband has missed several milestones.  They have a son who is 14-months-old.  He took his first steps just after Adam left, and celebrated his first birthday without his father.

Erika says she hopes in the time after her husband's homecoming, they will make up for the time lost.

The airmen are set to arrive just before 9:00 p.m. Sunday.Families Prepare for the Return of Airmen

May 25, 2013 22:59 GMT

KINGFISHER, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities continue to search for a Kingfisher teenager who disappeared after jumping into Uncle John Creek.

Police say 17-year-old Taylor Faine jumped into the creek Thursday and did not resurface. Kingfisher Fire Chief Randy Poindexter told The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/10s2oB6 ) on Saturday that manmade dams have been built in hopes of finding Faine's body.

Authorities say Faine was swimming with friends in an area where no swimming signs are in place because of dangerous currents in the creek.
