marker during a ceremony held Monday
at the corner of U.S. 190 and Base Road.
The decision is made and the call goes out at

COMPANY D 2nd Battalion 5th Cavalry
Regiment 1st Cavalry Division is put on alert.
Sometime in the next 96 hours they will
deploy to Cuba to assist with Haitian refugees
at Guantanamo Bay.
“We had a recall formation early Sunday
morning and got 100 percent accountability”
said Capt. William Craun Co commander.
“We just came back in from the field May
8” Craun said. “All of our Bradleys were still
sitting in the motor pool dirty. We also needed
to check our TA-50 to make sure everything
was accounted for.”
The company will deploy from Fort Hood to
Guantanamo Bay. They will conduct a security
mission related to the Haitian refugees for
about 90 days.
SOLDIERS IN Craun’s command are en-
thusiastic about this mission.
“I have some soldiers who ETS in ap-
proximately 90 days. They have canceled their
terminal leave for the chance to go on this
mission.”
“I was excited when I found out we were
going” said Pvt. 2 Micheal J. Nelson scout.
“I’ve never been out of the country before so
this is a great opportunity” said Nelson a
Denver Colo. native.
However some
about the trip.
soldiers aren’t as excited
“I was in Saudi Arabia for my first an-
niversary last year and now I am going to be
in Cuba for my second anniversary” said Spc.
Samuel Garza.
FOR GARZA times might be even more
difficult his wife is expecting their first child
in mid-October. The unit could be gone for up
to six months meaning he may miss the birth
of his child.
“My wife and I stayed up late last night and
had a ‘heart-to-heart’ talk. She isn’t real happy
about my going but she knows this is my job
and this is what I have to do” Garza said.
