Lance Cpl. Mark Beyers, seriously wounded Aug. 26 in Iraq, got more than he expected during his Alden homecoming Saturday, including plenty of hugs.

Mark Beyers thought he was heading to play a few hands of Texas Hold 'em with some Marine Corps buddies from Iraq Saturday afternoon, until his father's big pickup truck hit a massive traffic jam in the tiny Village of Alden.

"We better get out of here," Beyers said, before he started realizing that people were lined up three to four deep on the street, waving to him and calling out his name.

"What the hell's going on here?" he asked fiancee Denise Lauck, as it suddenly dawned on him that he was in a parade to honor his return home. "Oh, my God."

"He was in shock," said Lauck.

"I started crying," Beyers said.

Beyers, 27, a Marine Corps corporal as tough as they come, lost an arm and a leg on Aug. 26 when he set off an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Iraq's Al-Anbar province . . .

That's so nice! What a wonderful thing to do for one of our Marines! I hope his fiancee sticks with him!
