OAKWOOD - Hall County Marine, critically wounded in Iraq a few weeks ago, returned home Tuesday night.

Lance Corporal Matt Turner of Oakwood arrived about midnight after being released from Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas on Monday.

His stepfather, Ronnie Edge, says he's still having trouble speaking and has blurred vision.

Edge says Turner will be here for about 30 days before he returns to the Texas hospital for a checkup.
