I know we all love the Tennessee Vols, and want them to do well, but I ask the great members of Volnation, to keep these brave men and women in your hearts, and prayers as they do what only the truly brave do, and this is defend our nation anytime anyplace, from the Revolution to Iraq and Afghanistan, these real heroes deserve a minuet of our time!! God Bless the 278th!!! And Stay safe in Iraq!!:rock:

As a veteran myself, I'd say they deserve a full Tennessee Waltz.

America's heros.

I pray that God keeps them safe, and returns them home safely.

My brother-in-law headed out last night to Mississippi before heading to Iraq on his second mission. We have been catering the food on their weekend duties for the 278th in Kingsport, Tn. for awhile. They are a group of brave men that I pray come home safely. I appreciate everything these guys do for us. May God bless them throughout their time in Iraq.

FYI
The 278th ACR headquarters is in Knoxville, it is the second deployment to Iraq.
The commander during the last deployment,COL Dennis Adams, played for the Vols. Short article here
The worst part? I'll be on a convoy to Camp Shelby MS tomorrow during the SEC championship and every other game that is on,I don't even want to think about getting up in the middle of the night to watch the games next season. On a high note I don't think it will be as bad as the 05 season I watched last time in Iraq.
GO VOLS!
/s I'll hang up and listen.

I am not in Iraq, but I'm in the neighborhood. Welcome back to the party! We'll keep the lights on for you. In all seriousness, take care of each other, and I wish you all a safe and speedy return to the motherland. :salute:
