Welcome Home Army National Guard!
I don’t always post local news, but I wanted to post a local homecoming because of the wonderful news that this entire Company came home with no casualties at all! None in the entire Company. I know that is not a fact that the MSM will yell from the roof tops. It’s just more evidence of a safer Iraq, and I am praying that more and more Companies come home with the exact same news.
Happy family members, friends and supporters welcomed dozens of soldiers back home to Campbell County today.
The soldiers served a year in Iraq.
Tennessee Army National Guard’s 1175th soldiers call themselves the Road Hawg Warriors.
About 30 of them road on a bus Tuesday to the Jacksboro Armory, arriving just after noon.
Families waited with welcome signs and waving flags.
The 1175th Transportation Company hauled heavy equipment in Iraq.
The soldiers were quite content to lift up their loved ones in the happy homecoming.
“Eventually we plan to go for a weekend somewhere and just enjoy ourselves,” said B.J. Brown, wife of Sgt. Todd Brown, who returned Tuesday. “Right now, it’s more just get home.”
The entire company of almost 300 soldiers made it home without a single casualty. TALK WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS in the Campbell County community forum.
Excellent news! Didn’t hear that on any major news outlets today. Welcome home to the men and women of the Guard.
Welcome Home!
