ARROYO GRANDE -- As Christmas approaches, a patriotic group is busy welcome home troops.
On Friday, the group rolled out the red carpet for a soldier who hasn't been home for the holidays in 14 years.
For the second day in a row, members of the group "Welcome Home Troops" got to do what they do best.
They thanked a war veteran for his service and they did it in a big way.
A sea of red, white and blue moved the soldier to tears.
On Friday, "Welcome Home Troops" paid a visit to the Storton family of Arroyo Grande.
He's never been home for Christmas in 14 years," said Susan Storton, his mother.
