The first 30 of the 100 members of the TOW Platoon, 23rd Marines, 4th MarDiv (South Louisiana Reserve unit) arrived home today after having been activated, and have served in and around Ramadi, Iraq for about the last seven months.
The remaining 70 are due back home within about two weeks. The contingent of 70 have been directly involved in the fighting in and around Fallujah.
Thank God, ZERO fatalities, and only two Marines injured. Those two Marines received fairly serious injuries, but both are home recovering and doing well.
Those Marines are going to receive one helluva welcome home party. A parade and shindig has been planned in their honor just as soon as they are all back home.
Outstanding job Marines, and welcome home.
