629 Bastogne Soldiers Return To Fort Campbell Friday Afternoon

Fort Campbell KY, 101st Airborne DivisionFort Campbell, KY – Friday’s weather could not have been any better after a week of devistating storms. Within minutes, there were two planes arriving at Campbell Army Airfield with 629 Soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team.

One soldier on this flight was Mathew Gozalkowski who recently appeared on the TV Show “Coming Home”  that was filmed while home on his mid tour leave a few months ago. He had already gone back to Afghanistan when his episode aired on Lifetime TV on April 10th. His wife Amy and their children were so excited to have Mathew home once again.  Now it’s time to just get readjusted and settle down as a family again.
