Price Welcomes Home Georgia’s Citizen-Soldiers

Congressman Tom Price (GA-06) issued the following statement welcoming home the men and women of the Georgia National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The first soldiers of the 48th to return home from their recent deployment to Afghanistan arrived at Fort Stewart, GA earlier today.

“My heartfelt thanks go out to the men and women of the 48th for the sacrifices they have made in service to their country,” said Congressman Price. “These citizen-soldiers left behind hearth and home to answer the call of duty. By helping secure Afghanistan from the Taliban and Al Qaeda, they have played a vital role in the fight to protect American lives from radical terrorist groups. As our teachers, students, employees, friends, neighbors, and loved ones transition back into civilian life, they should know how extraordinarily proud and thankful we are. And while this is a joyous time for most, we also pause to honor those who did not return home. Their sacrifice as well as that of their families will not be forgotten. The 48th made all of Georgia and our nation proud, and today we rejoice for their return after a job well done.”
