Lance Corporal Kendall Bane, 19, was wounded in Afghanistan Sept. 20. Bane was to arrive at Huntsville International Airport Thursday at 6 but missed his flight, so the homecoming had to wait until 9 a.m. today.

Bane said he was "overwhelmed" by the attention.

Bane, a 2011 graduate of Westminster Christian Academy in Huntsville, was wounded in an attack near Camp Hansen in the Helmand Province. Bane was shot by a group of fighters posing as Afghan allies in what's known as a "green on blue" attack.
