Joey Jones home in Dalton for Christmas

DALTON, Ga. - Injured Marine Sgt. Joey Jones returned home today for the first time since a bomb blast took his legs in early August in Afghanistan.

The sergeant arrived at American Legion Post 112 in Dalton at 4 p.m. to a crowd of more than 70 well-wishers. Jones is home on holiday leave from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He will return to the center in two weeks to continue his rehabilitation.
