CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): At long last, they're coming home from the war zone. Marine Corporal Aaron Parker (ph) is greeted by his wife in California. Parker's (ph) unit had been deployed for more than a year. Army National Guardsman Tim Hammer (ph) sees his family in Oklahoma after six months away, and he holds 5-week-old Timothy for the first time ever. Army Specialist Juan Carlos Sanchez (ph) hugged his mom in Texas, as she tried to hold back the tears. He, too, was away for six months. Many homecoming troops also got good wishes from other veterans, as here in Oklahoma City, but many Americans are not coming home. And one family at a war protest in Chicago wanted to remind us of them.
