Home on leave, a Guardsman discovers his prized pickup restored by community members showing their appreciation.

When Oregon Army National Guard Spec. Chris Robertson arrived at the Medford airport from Iraq just before midnight Friday night, he was greeted with hugs by his parents and girlfriend. After helping him grab his luggage, Paul Robertson told his citizen-soldier son — who is home on leave — that they had to swing by Bob Thomas Automotive in Medford so they could pick up his four-wheel-drive 1977 Ford F-150 truck.
