The Virginian-Pilot
Twins Willie and William Boykin, 5, and their brother, Xavier, 3,
above, wait for their father's plane to land Wednesday at Langley
Air Force Base in Hampton. Their father, Sgt. Willie Boykin, was
returning from his second tour of duty in Haiti as part of Task
Force 7. The task force is composed of soldiers from the 11th
Transportation Battalion at Fort Story in Virginia Beach, and
Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 7th Transportation Group,
6th, 10th and 24th Transportation Battalions at Fort Eustis near
Newport News. Boykin's first tour was in September 1994. At right,
Dad gets a balloon heart as he arrives. Boykin returned with 69
other soldiers; the other half of Task Force 7 will return Friday.
