The Forsyth County Emergency Medical Services is facing shortages in staffing and ambulances as a number of nearby county agencies are offering higher pay.
45 Soldiers with the 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade leaned on each other and used their creativity to get through the holiday season, half a world away from their families and loved ones.
They are deployed to the Middle East supporting the fight against Daesh and maintaining a U.S. military posture in southwest Asia. The 28th ECAB commander, Col. Howard Lloyd, says the brigade’s mission in the Middle East perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the season.
“One of the things I find comforting is our whole mission, why we are here,” said Lloyd. “We joined our coalition partners in creating an environment conducive to everlasting peace and prosperity through the region.”
