SALT LAKE CITY — Today was a big day for Utah's National Guard troops and their families.
Over a hundred Utah families greeted their loved ones, members of the National Guard who have been deployed for close to 10 months.
Military wife Melody Belnap said her husband Sgt. Dallin Belnap missed a lot while he was gone.
"We were all in a car accident, we had an attempted break in," she listed.
But the biggest changes are in the growth of their family. When Dallin Belnap left, their youngest son was barely crawling.
"Now he's walking and talking," Melody Belnap said. "So yeah, they've gone through a lot of changes, a lot of milestones since dad has been away."
