MANCHESTER, N.H.- Members of the New Hampshire Nation Guard have returned to the Granite State after contributing to Operation Epic Fury.

The airmen are part of 157th Air Refueling Wing and are back home after being deployed to assist the U.S. Central Command in late February.

During their deployment the unit worked to refuel military aircraft mid-flight to allow planes heading overseas to fly for hours without landing.
