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.
