I am writing in regard to the return of the 133rd Engineer Battalion.

While my heart is joyful on the return of most of them, it seems the remainder of the men and women left in Iraq have been forgotten. We still need for people to pray and remember the 22 still there, for they are the ones who have to see through the equipment return.

The return date of these final members is unknown. They found out only hours before they were to leave that they had to stay. The hearts sank of family members and friends who long to see their loved ones, and the hearts of those 22 men and women have been saddened.

So, as we welcome home our heroes from Maine, please remember the members who are still waiting to come home.
