Nearly 300 soldiers kicked off a week of homecoming hugs as troops from Fort Carson's 3rd Brigade Combat Team reunited with jubilant family members in a ceremony at the post.

Hundreds more from the 4,400-soldier brigade are due back in Colorado this week as the unit wraps up a nine-month deployment to Kuwait. Since February, the soldiers have trained with troops from 13 Middle East nations.

Many of the soldiers will be busy at home, too.

Sgt. Ross Graziano found himself with his arms full of boys as he greeted his growing family. Hagan is 3, Easton is 2 and Caden is coming up on 2 months.
