100′s of Motorcycles escort our Iowa troops back home, July 2011

*Please read! Their mission accomplished, it was time to come home for many northwest Iowa soldiers. And they did with a fantastic escort of Motorcycle riders! There also was a homecoming ceremony in Le Mars for Troop C, 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry, that started at 2 PM at Le Mars Community High School Football Field, today July 24, 2011. Another homecoming ceremony will be held in Storm Lake on Monday (July 25) for Iowa Army National Guard unit Company G, Forward Support Company, 334th Brigade Support Battalion. The homecoming ceremony starts at 12:30 pm at the Storm Lake Elementary School. These units are part of the approximately 2900 members of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division deployed to Afghanistan. These Iowa Soldiers reported to their mobilization station at Camp Shelby, Mississippi back in August 2010 for additional training and preparation before they departed for the Afghanistan theater of operations. The units arrived in Afghanistan in November 2010, where the Soldiers provided full-spectrum operations in a combat theater, including lethal and non-lethal capabilities, support to Afghan National Army and Police units, and assistance to humanitarian relief initiatives. Thanks to all the local folks who came out and participated on every freeway bridge near Sibley and on down south. Please take a moment to subscribe so you will not miss another episode of the RC-Television shows and Mr. Herbert’s science class. Semper Fi and best regards, Dave

    @NightFlyyer That makes me sad Dave, even though I wasn’t alive for the war, I would like to thank you for all your hard work keeping this country safe. Thanks Dave

    Truly a very patriotic video from a very patriotic man. It’s nice to see such a tremendous show of support for our troops from the local community. It’s respect like that which makes being from a small town something very special. I know that the troops inside those buses really appreciated what they saw as they came up to that overpass. Nice one, Dave…

    It is sad to know that so many troops are deployed and separated from their families to go to battles… I can’t understand why… It is good to see they are getting back home!

    What 3 pathetic pieces of refuse would dislike this? Freaking hippies.
    Thanks not only for uploading, but for serving. I didn’t retire from the Army. I did 6 and then got out. I still support those boys and the job they’re doing.

    Dave As a American Legion Rider I have done many escorts for the troops and it never fails that when we reach our destination you can feel the waves of emotion from the families and friends of the troops. There is a power in that wave that defines what America is about. There should be more done for our Troops but all I can say to them is well done and Thank You for your service .

  25. todkapuz says:

    Sad to think that our troops would ever have been treated like the enemy. While I will say I dont always agree with what our country decides to do with our armed forces, our service men and women willingly risk their lives to follow the orders they are given, generally helping make sure that we can enjoy our country’s freedom and prosperity. That’s all that matters as far I am concerned.
