Charlie 2-1 Welcome Home

January 2009
Dan Gower got to travel back to Fort Riley - where it was a brisk 14 degrees outside on the day he welcomed home the 82nd Med Company (now Charlie Medical Company - 2-1 GSAB). MAJ Casey Carver, the unit commander, introduced Dan and then he had the honor of thanking four great ladies of the unit's Family Readiness Group. These ladies were the leaders who did the yeoman's work during the unit's deployment to Iraq. The unit flew over 5500 hours on over 2500 missions.
