Pfc. Ben Secor returns to the U.S.

Plant City native U.S. Army Pfc. Ben Secor, the first Hometown Hero we featured in the Plant City Observer, is back on home turf after nine months in Afghanistan.

Secor — along with about 230 members of the Fourth Brigade Combat Team, Fourth Infantry Division, received a hero’s welcome Nov. 4, at Ft. Carson, Colo.

Even better: Secor’s son, Colt, was born while was overseas. Father and son met for the first time.keylogger
