Bright patriotic lights, signs and numerous flags welcome home Sgt. Chad Bonifas at his East Elizabeth Street home in Coldwater. Bonifas, a 2001 Celina High School graduate, arrived home Friday after a 13-month deployment with the U.S. Army in Iraq. He was greeted by wife, Margot, and his three daughters, ages 5, 4 and 1. Bonifas, who was initially deployed in August 2006, left for Virginia on Tuesday in hopes of completing his military duty and returning to his family more permanently in the coming weeks.
