HHC & C Co. 1-111 INF 56 SBCT PARNG Homecoming September 10th, 2009

In the early hours of 9/10/09 I joined the homecoming from Iraq for my husband's battalion to Ft. Dix. This was only for two of the companies in the 1-111 INF, A Co. & B Co. came home later that day, but as a part of the 56th Stryker Brigade was the largest Pennsylvania National Guard deployment since World War II. We are all very proud of our troops and are thrilled to welcome them back home.

I've spent the duration of this deployment watching all sorts of homecoming videos on YouTube dreaming of the day that I'd get to experience the same. And now that I have, here is my video.

I've neglected to thank all those who have posted homecoming videos before me. These have helped me handle my husband's deployment and caused me to create my own homecoming video. Thank you!!

@chrisd234 Can I ask what part of the 56th you'll be attached to?

[chrisd234]

@ladycylver Not sure yet. I'm in another state doing OCS, but my civilian job PCS'ed me to PA, I live 45 minutes outside of Philly. I spoke to the OSM in PA. He has me down for the 1/111th in Philly under the 56th, as an infantry officer when I commission in about a year. As soon as I put on my bar I'm ISTing to PA and he said he will swear me into that unit.

@chrisd234 Ah, the associator's. Obviously, that's my husband's unit. He's in HHC out of Plymouth Meeting as a medic though and has two more years left on his contract. Good luck with OCS!
