Military

homecoming | SSG Yankosky + 1-10 CAV (MB-7)

Created by Ali Coşkunfrom the Noun Project

Yesterday was a pretty long day for me … I shot the MB-6 homecoming with the Helton Family in the wee (wee wee weeeeeeee) hours of the morning, and then late last night, drove back to the Special Events Center on Fort Carson. This time, I was with the Yankosky family – Brenda (mom), 7-year-old Isabella and 4-year-old Joseph, to welcome home their hero, SSG Aaron Yankosky. Aaron spent the last year overseas in Afghanistan, and FINALLY came home!! It was a long day, for sure, but it was so totally worth it watching Bella and Joey welcome home their dad, and  Brenda hugging and kissing her soldier.

Welcome home, SSG Yankosky and the rest of the men and women of 1-10 CAV of Fort Carson. We are so proud of you and glad to have you home!
