NAS LEMOORE â As two squadrons flew over NAS Lemoore on Thursday, families cheered, cried and hugged one another as a nearly 11-month deployment came to an end.
After the squadrons made their way off their jets, families ran after their loved ones. Fathers picked up their children, spouses kissed for the first time in almost a year, and special moments were shared as families tried to catch up with one another.
Chris Nisch, a maintenance officer and senior pilot for VFA 94, got to hold his seven month old daughter, Emma Joy, for the first time.
âThis moment is indescribable,â Nisch said. âThe deployment was incredibly hard, incredibly rewarding, but being away from family is incredibly challenging, and meeting my daughter for the first time is harder than anything I ever expected. But the reunion is probably one of the best days of my life.â

FAMILY historians everywhere are eagerly awaiting the 1921 census, which FindMyPast will put online in January next year. It will help chart the huge changes that followed the First World War. For the first time information will be available on divorce, names of employers and and detailed aspects of education. It will throw light on the lives of those living in the aftermath – the widows bringing up families alone, the survivors of the conflict continuing with their lives or striking out in new directions, and the estate owners battling death duties. In fact, the 1921 census did not go smoothly. Originally scheduled for 24 April, it had to be postponed until 19 June due to industrial unrest sparked when mines nationalized during wartime were put back into private hands and miners’ wages were promptly reduced.
