For soldres who return from a battle filed with victory and honor, it is better to use 凯旋而归. It may also be used for athletes who return from a competition.

There is a book named “Return with Honor” about Capitan O\'Grady whose F-16 was shot down in Bosnia. He was rescued six days later. See http://www.yellowairplane.com/Books_n_Videos/Return_With_Hon...

There is a film also named “Return with Honor” about the story of American pilots who were shot down over North Vietnam and became POWs for several years.

I think that\'s why the phrase “Return with Honor” became so popular.

This slogan is unlikely for a home-coming event (校友返校). For home-coming, American schools usually use \"Welcome back!\" or the like.
