Residents rally as Middle East deployment draws fears
Terry residents moved to Luke AFB in Phoenix after two and a half months abroad and Damon remains stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia for two and a half years. Kristi says Damon is ready for whatever happens while family members voice nerves over chemical warfare and hostages. Shane Clare, son of Dane and Kim Clare, a Brownfield High School 1987 graduate and U S Marine lance corporal, was sent to the Middle East at 4 45 a m Monday. Dane Clare says the family has had no contact since his departure and worries over troop durations. Peggy Gillespie notes her son Darren, an electrical warfare technician second class in the Navy, has served five years and is in the Red Sea near Aqaba, Jordan, after Mediterranean duty since March.
