Another 200 or so members of the Vermont National Guard are returning home after a year in Afghanistan.
Guard officials say members of the 86th Infantry Combat Team are scheduled to arrive at the Air National Guard base this morning aboard a charter plane from Camp Atterbury, Indiana.
They will then be transported to the Army Aviation Support Facility to be reunited with their families.
130 soldiers arrived home on Saturday.
There to greet the troops was a soldier who lost his legs in Afghanistan.
Edward Matayka says he’s grateful for the quick action of a fellow soldier who helped save his life after a roadside bombing.
Matayka was reunited Saturday with Specialist David Schwerer at a homecoming ceremony.
Matayka is a 33-year-old Army medic from Lee, New Hampshire.
He lost his legs and suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed in the July 2nd bombing, which claimed the life of another soldier.
Schwere was in another vehicle when the bomb hit Matayka’s, and he applied tourniquets to his legs.
Matayka was flown to Vermont from Virginia so he could be there when Schwerer got home.
