By: Sam Huntington
1 - Fayetteville is less than two hours from pretty much any beach in North Carolina and only a few more hours to the beautiful and scenic mountains of the Western part of the state. Fayetteville, North Carolina is in an almost perfect location in the state.
2 - Fayetteville is located in a very temperate part of the country, has easy access to travel hubs and has some of the best golf on the East coast minutes away. Talk about a near perfect retirement environment.
3 - Fayetteville, NC is about as patriotic as a town can get. What does that mean? It means that living there I know my friends and neighbirs uphold the same moral standards and etics upon which this country was originally based and that we will all work together to uphold them.
4 - Incredible parks, wonderful green spaces, beautiful trees and flowers... need I say more. This is a beautifula area situated in the sandhills of North Carolina. Our country affors us many choices on beautiful places to live. We feel extremely lucky and priveledged that we live in an area that would place well on anyones list.
5 - Hey, this is a friendly, down-to-earth, sweet Sounthern part of the country. The folks here are nice. Whether it is the Southern way in general or maybe just this special town here in Fayetteville North Carolina, we really don't know. What we do know if we love it.
6 - Fayetteville North Carolina is a great place to raise a family. There are tons of activities for kids and families living in Fayetteville. The museums, parks, the beach (a short hop away), and a myriad of sports opportunities make this a wonderful and fun place to be or have kids.
7 - The traffic volume is surprisingly good compared to most similarly-sized cities. The "FAST" mass-transit system paired with a well designed infrastructure and a laid back way of living makes for a city that rarely finds itself feeling congested
8 - Fayetteville likes to have fun and celebrate the joys in life. There is almost always a festival or event of some sort going on in Fayetteville North Carolina. Whether it is holiday celebrations, the annual Dickens event or the Fourth of July on Fort Bragg. One celebration in particular that cannot be missed is "Glory Days". This is Fayetteville's own special 4th of July event.
The bottom line is Fayetteville, NC is a wonderful town and frankly it would be difficult to list all of the great reasons that people choose to live there.What I've given you above is a brief listing of just eight of those many reasons.
Why just eight? Well, when I ponder and travel around Fayetteville, NC I often jot down little aspects of the town that grab me. What is amazing is that once I return to my home office (where I do most of my actual writing) I often find I have a list unlike any of the others I've written up before. This list of eight is just one of those great little lists and just happens to be the one I chose to share with you here today.

Welcome Home Fort Bragg Troops!
Fort Bragg soldiers return from Haiti relief efforts
By: News 14 Carolina Staff
FORT BRAGG – More than 600 Fort Bragg soldiers returned home to friends and loved ones Saturday.
The troops were deployed for three months to aid recovery efforts after the Haiti earthquake. Members of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team
provided security and handed out food, water and supplies.
"In a way, it was a lot more fulfilling – being able to help the Haitians, being able to go over there and see the difference that we're making
from people starving to death and people having food and shelter and what not. So it was quite fulfilling," Pfc. Cody Cantu, with the 82nd
Airborne, said.
There's no word yet on how long soldiers will be home before their next deployment.
