Fort Campbell, KY. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Fort Campbell held a Welcome Home Ceremony Wednesday morning as 172 soldiers with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team (BCT) returned from their nine-month deployment to Afghanistan. Because of work being carried out at Campbell Army Airfield, the soldiers landed at the Nashville airport and were taken the ceremony by bus.
Major Joshua Schneider had this to say about being home. “It’s nice to be home, it’s taken us nine-months to get here and i’m just glad to be here, said Schneider. “It’s wonderful, this is multiple deployments so we’re happy to have him back again,” said Schneider’s wife Natalie.
Another group of 3 BCT soldiers are scheduled to return on Saturday.
