HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii --  One Airmen returned from her four month deployment to more than just a hug and a kiss at the Air Mobility Terminal May 23rd.

Tech. Sgt. Nancy LeVerich, 15th Communications Squadron, was met by long-time boyfriend, Master Sgt. Guy Geroux, 15th Communications Squadron, with a ring and a marriage proposal.

"I've waited seven years," she said with a chuckle. "I definitely say yes."

While Sergeant LeVerich was deployed, Master Sergeant Geroux was diagnosed with colon cancer. She said he's doing much better.

"I was so worried I was never going to see him again," said Sergeant LeVerich. He's my best friend...my strength."

After linger hugs, a few tears and non-stop smiles from the couple, "I know I want to be with her forever," said Master Sergeant Geroux.
