  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, more than 3,000 soldiers with the Army's 
1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division are headed home 
to Fort Riley this month after a nine-month deployment in South Korea.
  Also, known as the ``Devil'' brigade, these soldiers have been 
stationed in South Korea since October of last year. During their 
deployment, these American soldiers have trained closely with their 
South Korean partners, deterring North Korean hostility and providing 
security in the Korean peninsula. Their service is invaluable.
  These Soldiers and families sacrifice greatly during deployment. As 
the ``Devil'' brigade begins their journey back to Fort Riley, may I be 
the first to thank them for their service and say, ``welcome home.''
