Signs and balloons were all over the place yesterday with "Welcome Home."
A welcome home reception was held at Parsons One Stop for Robby and Eric
Parsons and Keith Heiney, who were returning from
14-weeks of basic training in Fort Leonardwood,
Missouri for the Army National Guard.
Cake, punch and
chips were served to a group of approximately thirty well
wishers who gathered at the store to welcome them
home.
The cake was made by Hi Rise Pizza in Big Bend.
It was decorated with red, white and blue colors with
an eagle, an American flag as well as a welcome home
message.
Signs were placed along Route 16 to welcome
the boys home on their last few miles of the long
journey from Fort Leonardwood. All three young men
said that Calhoun County was a welcome site and
that they were glad to be home.
Robby is the son of
Randy and Mary Ann Parsons of Millstone, Eric is the
son of Sheriff Allen and Carolyn Parsons of Millstone and
Keith is the son of Don and Janet Heiney of
Grantsville.
