Happy Homecoming for Local Sailor | News

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- Another heartwarming reunion at the airport Tuesday night for one of our men in uniform.

About a dozen friends and family members welcomed Howie McMillen home from 13 months overseas with the Navy.

His sister Amanda Johnson calls her brother a big, loveable country boy who was also up for Navy Seaman of the year.

Howie had been looking forward to this day and he's also a man of few words.

"Nothing beats being home in your own country.  Fun with family and friends," said McMillen.

Amanda says her brother really wants to cut the lawn, and see a few country music concerts!
