CSM Schroeder and I wanted to send a note to thank you for the support you provided to our Army Families and Soldiers here at Fort Campbell. Most of our Soldiers have returned from deployment, but many remain in harm’s way. We thank you in advance for the world-class support you and the communities surrounding Fort Campbell continue to provide them and their Families.
We have continuously been impressed with the level of support between Fort Campbell and the great surrounding communities including Clarksville, Hopkinsville, Oak Grove, and other areas in Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. Each of your communities does so much for our Soldiers and our Families which makes Fort Campbell such a desirable duty assignment for so many military Families. Upon our return from deployment, we felt we were truly coming home.
