Just a quick note about my husband. He finally came home to Maryland on May 11th from a 12 month deployment to Iraq. It is great having him home. He is the best husband that a woman could ask for!
Just some quick information about his deployment, since some may be wondering what he was up to. My husband was deployed in January of 2005 with Bravo Company, 1-115th Infantry Division of the Maryland Army National Guard. His unit was attached to the 48th Brigade (Georgia Army National Guard), which was deployed to many different areas of Iraq. For the first few months of the deployment they trained at Ft. Stewart, GA. In May of 2005, they were sent to Iraq. For several months, Bravo Company was attached to the 1st Armored Division based in Ft Riley, KS, and was on missions doing searches of houses and patrols around the Baghdad area. During this time, my husband's truck was hit with a VBIED, injuring his two best friends and a couple of others. When this mission concluded, they were sent to the Al Anbar province to aid in convoy security, where they escorted crucial supplies to areas of Iraq. On May 11th, 2006, he returned to Maryland.
Bravo Company did not lose any soldier during combat operations, although one young man was killed in a vehicle accident during training at Ft Stewart. This unit has been truly blessed, and I wish every unit could be as blessed as ours. Thank God for all the prayers he has lovingly answered the way we have wanted.
Hope you all enjoy the read, and I will get back to ya'll soon.
