Valentine’s Day just got a little sweeter for over 60 Fort Campbell families.

About 65 soldiers assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team returned to the local post Saturday night, just in time for Valentine ’s Day.

Family and friends of the returning soldiers were anxiously awaiting their arrival.

1st Lieutenant Chris Rutherfod, whose parents traveled all the way from Denver stated he was thrilled to be back home following his nine-month deployment in Afghanistan.



1st Lieutenant Rutherford says he is also glad to see his parents after months of talking over the phone.



Soldiers assigned to the brigade served as security advisors to their Afghan counterparts to ensure the Afghan army can maintain the security of their borders.
