Tennessee’s 181st Field Artillery deploys to Middle East in bittersweet send off
On the tarmac of the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport, loved ones gathered Sunday afternoon to send off the men and women of the Tennessee National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 181st Field Artillery Regiment as it deployed for an 11-month tour of duty overseas.
Lawrenceburg residents Sgt. First Class Brendon Holt and Brooke Holt embraced in the shadow of an aircraft hanger moments before parting ways for their third deployment.
“That is what we do,” Brendon Holt said. “We signed up for it. I am happy to do it. I am proud of the guys I have. I have a lot of young guys. They will do well. We have a great team. We are going to be back in 10 months stronger than ever.”
Holt serves as the leader of a platoon that is responsible for firing weapons.
