As we flew into Maine on the evening of February 17th, this was our first sight of the United States in almost a year. It was, needless to say, a beautiful picture.
Including the time spent preparing for the deployment, we've been at it now for more than two years. The last one has been a long one. The work was not the hard part; it was having to be away from our friends and family. However, it's always remained evident that everyone back here did everything within their power to remind the members of the unit that we were not forgotten. Prayers, packages, letters, and emails reminding us of the reasons we serve flowed non-stop.
From every soldier in the 166th Engineer Company, thank you to all. Your contributions to us have meant more than you'll ever know.
It's good to be home.
