Families at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., greet airmen who survived a terrorist bomb attack that killed 19 Americans in Saudi Arabia. The warm homecoming seemed to ease the grief, anger and frustration that followed Tuesday's truck bombing at a military housing complex in Dhahran. All but one of the victims were stationed at Eglin Air Force Base near Fort Walton Beach or Patrick Air Force Base. A dozen of the dead were members of Eg-lin's 33rd Fighter Wing, killed just two days before their 90-day deployment was to have ended. One of their comrades said he felt like a sitting duck at the high-rise housing complex. "We think they're all heroes - the dead, the wounded and the others," said Col. Tom Friers at Patrick. Twenty-one of the arrivals at Eglin were slightly injured in the blast. Another 10 members of the squad-ron were still hospitalized in Germany. President Clinton is scheduled to meet with families of the victims before memorial services Sunday at both bases.
