Welcome Home 106 Cav - Bravo Troop Dixon, IL Monday, September 28, 2009
We have been invited to escort the FOURTH group of soldiers from Bravo Troop, 106 CAV to their home base from their tour in Afghanistan. Help us bring these fine soldiers home after a years worth of dedication to helping the Army to train and mentor the Afghan police. Originally we had three groups planned, but staging for their travel back to the states split off about 26 soldiers into a fourth.
There are a few soldiers that may be arriving later from treatment of injuries. We will try to get info on them as well so they can have the same welcome home.
We will again have 2 staging areas for those that would like to join the escort.
Staging 1 - rest area on east/south bound side of I90 at milemarker 168 - Rally Time is 2:00 pm. There will be a stretch break for them at the oasis then on to Rochelle.
Staging 2 - Petro truck stop on Illinois Rt38 just off I39 at Rochelle - Rally Time - 3:00 pm - scheduled to leave Rochelle promptly at 3:45 pm to put them at the armory at 4:30 pm to meet their families, short ceremony, and then HOME.
