This Memorial Day was a happy one indeed for Dallas’ Lydia Drones, her daughter Laylah, and Lydia’s husband,  Army Sgt. Gregory Drones, who hadn’t met 7-week-old Laylah until today. Drones was among about 150 troops back in the states from Iraq and Afghanistan for two weeks of R&R. The soldiers were welcomed early this morning at D/FW International Airport by a huge crowd–including representatives of all the major local TV stations.
