WELCOMING THE DEVIL BRIGADE BACK HOME
(Mr. MARSHALL asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
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 in my district this month after a 9-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. This service is invaluable.
These soldiers and families sacrificed greatly during their
deployment. As the Devil Brigade begins to journey back home to Fort
Riley, may I be the first to thank them for their service and say
``Welcome Home.''
