HONORING THE SOLDIERS OF BRAVO COMPANY, 3RD BATTALION, 124TH INFANTRY
REGIMENT, FLORIDA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Madam President, I rise today to honor the
soldiers of Bravo Company (Wolfpack), 3rd Battalion (Warrior), 124th
Infantry Regiment Florida Army National Guard. This year marks the 20th
anniversary since Bravo Company was deployed to the Middle East. The
137 soldiers were the first Florida Guardsmen deployed to war since
World War II.
These brave soldiers conducted thousands of patrols, hundreds of
checkpoints, performed raids, and participated in countless supporting
operations. Most importantly, all soldiers returned home. These
soldiers earned their Combat Infantryman Badge and their Presidential
Unit Citation.
I want to welcome them to Pensacola, FL, 20 years after being
downrange protecting our great Nation. As a Navy veteran and the son of
a World War II veteran, I know firsthand the sacrifices made by our
military members and their families. Thank you for your service; your
courage and dedication to our country will never be forgotten.
