HONORING THE 3RD BATTALION, 320TH FIELD ARTILLERY REGIMENT
Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I would like to take a brief moment
to recognize the men and women of the 3rd Battalion, 320th Field
Artillery Regiment and its subordinate units. The battalion has been
assigned to Fort Campbell since 1986. Since then, it has been deployed
in support of various military operations around the world--including
its current mission in support of the global war on terror.
In November, the members of the 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery
will return home to Fort Campbell, to their
[[Page S9390]]
eager families and to a grateful Nation after 15 long months in Iraq.
During their deployment, these brave Americans fought our enemies in
one of the most dangerous sectors of southern Baghdad. They also spent
months training their Iraqi Army counterparts so that one day Iraq may
be able to enjoy the same security we have here at home.
Freedom is something many of us take for granted. Not so for the
members of the 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery, who have defended
freedom by enduring great hardship. The same is true of their families,
who have also sacrificed for freedom with sleepless nights and fear for
the safety of their loved ones. As Americans, we are forever indebted
to those in the military community who have given so much to protect
our liberty and our way of life. I ask my colleagues to join me in
thanking the men and women of the 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery
for their heroic service and in welcoming them back home.
I also ask unanimous consent to have the names of these brave
Americans printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
