    Elizabeth Tsui of Alexandria welcomes home husband, Sgt. Thomas Tsui from the Fredericksburg-based Company A, 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th Brigade Combat Team Dec. 18 as he returned to Virginia after serving in Iraq since August 2011. The soldiers returning are part of a group of about 825 soldiers from across the commonwealth who mobilized June 1 for duty in Iraq as Task Force 183 under the command of the Portsmouth-based 2nd Squadron, 183rd Cavalry Regiment. Approximately 1,100 Virginia National Guard soldiers are scheduled to return from Iraq in December. After those 1,100 Soldiers have returned, about 260 Virginia Guard soldiers and airmen will still be on federal active duty in Afghanistan and other locations across the world.
