FORT WORTH -- When Spc. Robert Bonds came home from Iraq on leave last autumn, his 1-year-old son cried when he was put in his daddy's arms.
"It hurt," said his wife, Kim. "It made me cry."
But Tre, close to 2 now, climbed into his daddy's arms Tuesday morning and then refused to leave. A better homecoming gift could not have been bought.

"We brought everyone home -- eyes, ears, toes, fingers, eardrums, all of them," said Lt. Col. Greg Barrow, the battalion commander. "We were very fortunate."
