Soldiers return home from Somalia to Fort Drum Christmas cheer
Rumors of home for holidays proved true as 2 500 troops left Somalia by year end with 190 more arriving at Fort Drum. The 2 14th Infantry led the homecoming after five months away, greeted by a cheering crowd, banners, and the 10th Mountain Division Band. General Gordon R. Sullivan spoke, acknowledging sacrifices in battles like Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. Among reunions, Sgt. Christopher Reid, missing a hand and foot, returned with his unit while others planned meals and family time, signaling a warm salute to the unit’s sacrifices and companionship.
