252 Soldiers with the 1st Brigade Combat Team and Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion Returned Saturday
Once in sight the rain could not drown out all the cheer and tears of happiness as soldiers with the 1st Brigade Combat Team and Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion returned to Campbell Army Airfield. Once the soldiers formed up and marched inside hanger 3, Brigadier General Jeffrey N. Colt welcomed everyone home in a short speech to the soldiers. Afterwards everyone was allowed 15 minutes of family time before heading to their units to turn in their equiptment. Phillis Johnson-Birdsong was here to welcome home her daughter PV2 Ashley Johnson-Walker. She flew across country to be here today, after she dropped off her son and Ashley’s twin brother Brandon Johnson from Fort Sill Oklahoma early in the morning for deployment to Afganistan. As they stood in the middle of the hanger floor, Phillis was holding a newspaper article where they had welcomed home her husband from a Humanitarian mission back in June 1995. Be sure to check the website for future flights. None are posted at time of this story. If you wish to attend a Welcome Home Ceremony, check the flight schedules online, as times are subject to change at any time. When arriving to Fort Campbell, enter via Gate 7; if you don’t have installation stickers on your vehicle, you will be required to get a visitor pass. From there just follow the signs to the ceremony parking. Waiting buses transport the Family members safely to the hanger. About Roland Woodworth
