IRAQ VOICES OF THE 32ND INFANTRY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM JUNE 18, 2010 MARSHFIELD NEWS-HERALD ✵ STEVENS POINT JOURNAL ✵ WAUSAU DAILY HERALD ✵ WISCONSIN RAPIDS DAILY TRIBUNE

ABOUT ‘VOICES’ In August 2008, the 32nd “Red Arrow” Infantry Brigade Combat Team was called to duty in Iraq. The group — including soldiers from Marshfield, Mosinee, Stevens Point, Waupaca, Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids — spent almost 10 months guarding Iraqi detainees at Camp Cropper near Baghdad. They were reunited with family and friends in January, and they will be honored Saturday with a homecoming event. Inside, you’ll find stories from the soldiers who were deployed, why they enlisted and what they learned from their experience in Iraq. There also is a history of the brigade, a look at how the soldiers trained and a list of area employers who supported them in and out of their uniforms.
