Bluffdale - The Marines of Charlie Company, 4th LAR, returned home from Afghanistan Saturday, May 29, 2010, without two of their brothers in arms. Although it was painful, the family of fallen Marine Nigel Olsen was at Camp Williams to meet them. As Nigel's father Todd Olsen embraced lance corporal Bryce Lewis, family members Sarah Anthony (sister), Kim Olsen (mother) and Quinn Olsen (brother) wiped away tears.
