MANCHESTER, NH (CBS) - Members of New Hampshire's National Guard are reunited with their families tonight.

In the crowd of military families the sacrifices are many; especially for the family of Private John Davis.

To say Davis comes from a military family is an understatement. Five family members have been deployed in Iraq or Kuwait.
