The holiday leave is over for more than 26-hundred members of
the Oklahoma Army National Guard, who are now on their way back to Texas. The
45th Infantry Bridgade came home for ten days of holiday leave over Christmas
and New Year's. Local businesses donated money and buses to make the trip
possible for 'Operation Holiday Homecoming.'
The troops are returning to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas where they will
complete their training before deploying to Iraq.
