Local captain faces bittersweet homecoming

Some waited patiently, others could not sit still while waiting for five soldiers to arrive at the Colorado Springs airport. As the uniforms came into view, the emotions rushed out.
But it was a bittersweet homecoming for Air Force Captain Kevin Lombardo. After spending eight months in Iraq, he arrived to see the faces he loves, all except one. His two-year-old daughter Chloe died a year ago, after she and her brother swallowed prescription pills they found in the medicine cabinet.
"It's been very difficult, but thankfully I have my wonderful family here," Lombardo's wife, Billie, said. "I couldn't ask for better friends, they helped me get through this."
Lombardo came home after his daughter died, but just a few months later he was back in the middle east. He says "It's absolutely fabulous after seven or eight months being gone, just to be home with friends and family. Absolutely incredible being home," he said.
While she couldn't be there to welcome her daddy, Chloe was close to the hearts of everyone there. The Lombardo family said they hope others will remember Chloe, and what brought the ending to her short life.
