PHILADELPHIA -- A local family has waited a long time for a very happy moment Thursday at Philadelphia International Airport.

There were hugs and cheers for Chaplin Major Tim Sastic in Terminal A.

His family and friends were there with American flags and signs.

The major has spent the last year deployed in Kuwait.

He says his family loves to do things big, so everyone coming out for his homecoming was a very welcome sight to see.
