WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) - The 125th Infantry of Michigan's National Guard is coming home.

Deployed to Afghanistan in September 2011 , the unit is arriving back in Michigan in waves. On Friday, 57 members of the unit -- enough to fill about two busses -- will greet their loved ones at the Wyoming National Guard Armory.

The members landed in Lansing and took the bus to Wyoming. No official ceremony was held for the returnees.
