Connecticut Guard airmen return from Afghanistan

 

Twenty-five Connecticut National Guard airmen returned home Monday night from Afghanistan after their unit’s third deployment overseas in the war on terror. Members of the 103rd Security Forces Squadron were deployed last July and assigned to the Bagram Airbase to provide base security, check vehicles entering the facility for bombs and counter-insurgency operations. Six of the 25 airmen were from our region. They are: Senior Airman Michael Dixon of New London; Staff Sgt. Tabitha Brisbane of New London; Senior Airman James Bowdy of Mystic; Senior Airman Andrew Brown of Norwich; Tech Sgt. Eric Pendleton of Ledyard; and Staff Sgt. Andrew Doucette of Ledyard. The Connecticut National Guard has about 200 soldiers and airmen deployed in the war on terror.
