DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  More than 240 members of the 39th Airlift Squadron and 317th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron returned to Dyess from a 120-day deployment in time for Valentine's Day Feb. 14 around 7 p.m. 

The 39th AS and 317th AMXS are part of the 317th Airlift Group, whose C-130 aircraft deliver cargo and troops to the areas of responsibility in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and the Horn of Africa. The 39th AS and 40th AS and their maintenance units alternate deployment rotations, keeping operations working against the Global War on Terror 365 days per year.

Families greeted the redeployers in freezing temperatures.
