BEAUFORT CO., SC (WTOC) - Family and friends welcomed home Marines aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort after returning from Operation Inherent Resolve Nov. 17.

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251, from MCAS Beaufort, has been deployed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt since March. VMFA-251 is with Marine Aircraft Group 31. 

Maines got off a Boeing 747 into the arms of loved ones and some met their babies for the very first time.


The Thunderbolts were in Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), that is the U.S. military operation name for the military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
