UPDATE: SOUTH BEND – Today 50 local reserve Marines are coming home. They've spent the last 7 months fighting in Afghanistan.
The Marines are with Engineering Company B based in South Bend. They were deployed last May and spent several weeks training at Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Base 29 in California before being shipped to Afghanistan.
Marines in Company B are from across northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan.
Several local police officers will escort the buses of Marines from Ligionier to South Bend. They are expected back in town around noon today.
The arrival of Marine troops is scheduled for 1:30 P.M.
