JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Three years and 80 community service hours later, Air Force Senior Airman Carson LaGrange is now reunited with his family, after being stationed in Fort Bragg in North Carolina.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuper excited to see my family, excited to spend some time with them,\u201d Carson told Action News Jax with a huge smile at the reunion Saturday morning. \u201cI just got PCS orders, so further west, so it\u2019s nice to see them one last time before I leave again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson\u2019s reunion was all made possible through the work of \u201cMiles for Military,\u201d an organization that pays for the flights home of military service men and women, after the completion of a certain amount of volunteer hours.<\/p>\n
