Off go the local boys

A local unit's been called up to go to Iraq:

The mobilization departure ceremony for the U.S. Army Reserve 357th Corps Support Battalion was held Sunday afternoon at the Classic Center for the reservists that will be sent to Fort Stewart Wednesday, and overseas to Iraq once their training is complete.

The ceremony was to honor the 57 reservists from across Northeast Georgia and their families before shipping off to replace active reservists already in Iraq. According to Lt. Cmdr. Frank Eubanks, this is the first time the unit has been activated since 1946.

Merry Christmas, guys.
