Photo Essay: Return of HMLA-775

   Lance Corporal Fricke (my younger brother, frickeec) returned Monday morning from Iraq with the rest of Helicopter Marine Light Attack - 775 (HMLA-775). The 747 full of marines landed at March Airforce Base, where my mother was born, and the 167 returning members of HMLA-775 proceeded down to their home base at Camp Pendleton, from where they were released to disperse. The following is our retrieval mission in pictures.
