First Sergeant Casey Samborski of Company C, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, says he does not know if the group will be coming home in a bus or plane.

They will be given a hero's welcome.

The Marines are expected to arrive back in the United States on Sunday after serving seven months in Iraq.

Samborski says the Marines have spent most of their time in Fallujah and have been involved in more combat-related operations because of their assignment.
