SEVERAL TRI CITIES FAMILIES ARE RECEIVING THE BEST HOLIDAY GIFT EVER. 100 MEMBERS OF THE 776TH MAINTENANCE COMPANY WILL COME HOME BEFORE BEING SENT TO IRAQ. 50 GUARDSMEN WILL RETURN AT SEVEN O’CLOCK THIS EVENING AT TRI CITIES REGIONAL AIRPORT ON A MILITARY TRAINING FLIGHT, WHILE THE REMAINING SOLDIERS WILL FLY INTO MCGHEE TYSON AIR BASE IN KNOXVILLE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS TYPE OF VISIT IS UNUSUAL, BUT WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF ELIZABETHTON COMMUNITY MEMBERS WORKING WITH LEGISLATIVE AND MILITARY CONTACTS IN SUPPORT OF THE 776TH AND CONNECTED FAMILIES.
