Eugene - A Marine from Roseburg is home Wednesday after serving seven months in Iraq with the Marines.

Friends and family of Lance Corporal Kevin England waited in the Eugene Airport lobby Wednesday morning. When they saw him, it was all hugs and smiles.

England say's it'll take some time getting used to being home because the environment here is quite different than what he's been living in.
"I lived in my vehicle most of the time, but there's mud huts around all deserts, no trees, no anything," says England.

England says he will be heading back overseas about this time next year. He also says he'll spend some of his time at home getting prepared to go back.
