SAUGUS - Families across America will barbeque for the holiday weekend but few celebrations will be as meaningful as the Carmody family's, who will gather to welcome home SPC Jason Carmody.

Carmody has been serving with the Military Police in Iraq the past year. Alyssa Carmody, his wife of two years, admitted she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard he had touched down stateside. She was, however, beside herself Tuesday knowing she would see Jason soon-even if she didn't know exactly when.

"It's been a rollercoaster," she said. "I stand by his decision (to go) and I'm very proud."

A civilian dispatcher with the police department, Carmody along with Patrolman Anthony Gaieski returned home to Fort Dix last week and returned to Saugus Wednesday.

Alyssa said Thursday that her husband still had to go to Camp Curtis in Wakefield to fill out additional paperwork but would be home for the Fourth of July celebration that will include several family barbeques.
