Also would like to let SSG Reynolds, SPC Everroad, MAJ Bucy, SGT Perkins, SPC Crain, and SFC Geiselman know that we are thinking of you while you are deployed during this holiday season.
MSG Arnold and SPC Sambrotta are HOME! We were just informed last week that these soldiers returned home November 12th. We are sorry that we missed their homecoming, but are thrilled to have them home.

Welcome Home To Desert Wolves and Ruff Ryders
As the year wraps up, we are proud that all of the Desert Wolves and Ruff Ryder units made it home safe and sound from Iraq. We thank you for your service in an area that is sometimes not appreciative of what you are doing for them. Our freedom is safe because of men and women like yourselves that volunteerily put yourself in harms way to ensure freedom for the rest of us. Us at HHB hope that your transition will be a safe one and that you and your families will be able to enjoy the holidays more. Thank you again for your service to our country and WELCOME HOME!!!
