Jacksonville family celebrates return of military service member through community service program

Three years and 80 community service hours later, Air Force Senior Airman Carson LaGrange is now reunited with his family, after being stationed in Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

“Super excited to see my family, excited to spend some time with them,” Carson told Action News Jax with a huge smile at the reunion Saturday morning. “I just got PCS orders, so further west, so it’s nice to see them one last time before I leave again.”

Carson’s reunion was all made possible through the work of “Miles for Military,” an organization that pays for the flights home of military service men and women, after the completion of a certain amount of volunteer hours.
