It will be the second tour of duty in Iraq for almost half of them.

Echo Company heads to California first for three months of intensive training before heading to Iraq.
As those troops prepare to leave Iowa, the pro-troop group Move America Forward brings its "Fight for Victory Tour" to Des Moines.
The group will rally at the West Capitol Terrace at 6 p.m. at the Statehouse.
It will also be in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday morning.
O God, I beseech You, watch over those exposed to the horror of war, and the spiritual dangers of a soldier’s or sailor’s life.
Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it, nor fear ever to practice it. By Your grace, O God, fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that being preserved from vice, and serving You faithfully, they may be ready to meet you face to face when they are so called: through Christ our Lord. Amen
FR WAR NEWS! Amen.
