Welcome Home: Greg Coburn Returns From Iraq Tour
Gregory Coburn, a West Virginia University ROTC graduate and Army reservist, arrived home in Princeton after a long Iraq tour. Family and friends organized a welcome home dinner, inviting locals and even Governor Manchin's staff. Coburn’s extended family and neighbors lined the terminal as the veteran shared a quiet moment with his nine year old nephew. He will spend 20 days in Princeton before reporting to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in a tenure noted as “11 years, going on 30” by his father.
