Gannett: 4,000 soldiers heading to Shelby
By Janet Braswell
Another 4,000 soldiers will begin arriving next month for training at Camp Shelby before they deploy to Iraq.
Almost 2,700 of them belong to the 34th Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team of the Minnesota National Guard. They will be augmented by National Guard troops from New Jersey, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Utah.
Their arrival will bring to more than 17,000 the number of troops trained at Camp Shelby for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sad. I wonder how many won't come back alive; how many will come back maimed physically; how many will come back with PTSD.
Keep tracking it Carl. THANKS for your efforts!
