Second group of Red Bull soldiers returns
A second group of National Guard troops returned to Minnesota Sunday afternoon.
About 200 members of the Minnesota National Guard's 34th Red Bull Infantry Division returned home Sunday afternoon after a yearlong deployment to Iraq.
They flew into the Twin Cities airport and were bused to armories in Rosemount, Inver Grove Heights and Stillwater to reunite with their families and friends.
More than 1,000 Red Bulls are returning from Iraq after leading 14,000 U.S. troops in the southern part of the country since May. The first 250 soldiers arrived a week ago.
