ELKHART — “WELCOME HOME, AARON!” read one sign.
“Thank you, Aaron! God bless you!”
Shouts of joy and thanks echoed down the hall.
“Welcome home, son!”
Tears ran, flashes burst from cameras and cheers grew from the crowd at the South Bend Regional Airport arrivals terminal Saturday afternoon.
Sgt. Aaron Yoder, specialized search dog handler with the U.S. Army and Concord High School graduate, came home to family, friends and the public waiting to greet him.
