Families and friends of about 75 Kentucky National Guard soldiers who have been deployed to Iraq for six months, including at least two from Marion, will welcome them home Thursday in Bowling Green, according to a report from The Associated Press.
The soldiers are from Bravo Co., 149th Brigade Support Battalion, which is part of the 149th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade. The brigade deployed more than 1,300 soldiers to Iraq in June in the Kentucky Guard's largest overseas deployment since World War II.
Pfc. Preston Blake and Pfc. Josh Urbanowski of Crittenden County are known to be assigned to the Bowling Green unit.
