He's Home! He's Home!

By JULIE STEVENS

“Strykers return to Alaska and he’s home...I’m cutting my yellow ribbons down!!!” Soldiers from the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team out of Fort Wainwright arrived Saturday evening at Eielson Air Force after a year deployment in Iraq. SPC Khalid Jurdi, the son of Julie Stevens of Adrian, was one of the soldiers who was returning. “It has been a LONG year.” I want to say thank you to all who prayed for Khalid and I just ask that you keep all our military personnel in your prayers.
