2nd SCR Redeployment Ceremony

Stars & Stripes has a nice article covering the official welcome home ceremony held by the 2nd SCR. I wish there had been more media coverage (military and civilian) of this brigade during its deployment - they essentially flew under the radar.

VILSECK, Germany — Twenty-three wounded warriors helped uncase the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment’s colors during a welcome-home ceremony at Vilseck on Tuesday.

Some were on crutches, one was in a wheelchair and others had less visible injuries. All were given loud cheers and applause as they helped leaders uncase the colors in front of a packed crowd inside the Memorial Fitness Center.

Second Cav commander Col. John RisCassi told his men their service during 15 months in Iraq was nothing short of remarkable.
