330 sailors returned to Naval Station Mayport Sunday when the USS Jason Dunham docked following a nearly seven-month-long deployment.

For seamen Kennedi Bogan-Williams and Steven Leister, the homecoming was a new experience because it was their first deployment.

“There were a lot of highs and lows,” said Leister, who is from northern New Jersey. “Definitely more lows than highs at some points, but it was definitely worth it.”“We’ve been praying for her safety the entire trip,” said Demetria Vaughn, one of Bogan-Williams’ aunts. “For it to come full circle for us, we’re just very proud of her.”The moment Leister said goodbye to family at an airport on Dec. 1 was one of the hardest things for everyone.
