EMPORIA, Va. — After almost a year in Iraq, nearly 200 Soldiers from the Richmond-based 1710th Transportation Company returned to Virginia Feb. 27 and were greeted by the cheers and hugs of loved ones.

Its awesome being home, said Sgt. Lemuel Mathias of Suffolk. Im really looking forward to relaxing.

The 1710th headquarters is in Richmond, and the unit also has elements from Emporia and Gate City. Detachment 2 of the 1173rd Transportation Company from Onancock also deployed as part of the 1710th. In addition, U.S. Army Individual Ready Reserve Soldiers from all over the United States were also assigned to the unit.
