I would like to send a BIG WELCOME HOME to the 300 paratroopers from the 82cnd Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team who have just returned home after a 13 month deployment to Iraq. The soldiers arrived home Sunday shortly after 11am.
The soldiers were responsible for establishing communications lines, running convoys and guarding key command, control and logistical sites. Eight soldiers from the brigade died during the deployment, and roughly 2,200 soldiers are still overseas.
Thank You to all our brave soldiers and their families for all of their hard work and sacrifice. Be sure to thank a soldier today….they will sure appreciate it.
