Soldiers from Rhode Island are sending holiday greetings back home from overseas, where they are currently deployed on various missions.
The soldiers are members of the 2nd Infantry Division – U.S .Army. The 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-US Combined Division is the last remaining permanently forward-stationed division in the U.S. Army, according to the unit’s website. The 2nd Infantry Division deters aggression and maintains peace on the Korean Peninsula; and if deterrence fails, “Fight Tonight” in support of the U.S-Republic of Korea Alliance.
Despite being far from home, the soldiers are keeping the holiday spirit alive by sending heartfelt messages to their loved ones back in Rhode Island.
