5,000 soldiers on their way home

‎12-21-2016 06:11 PM

for the holidays. They were brought into the St. Louis airport this morning by bus from Ft. Leonard Wood. They were met by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Hope they all get home in time for the big day....and that they get some rest and have fun. There were other folks there to welcome them and wish them well.....believe they also got some treats.....

Meanwhile, we're committed to sending 4,000 troops & 2,000 vehicles to Europe.

After all, 60,000+ US soldiers are already there.

Believe most of these 5,000 soldiers are being shipped out once they are off of their leave. That Army base is a basic training base. They will probably be sent to join the 60,000 troops you mentioned.
