It means that you can carry those experiences, lessons, and values into whatever comes next. We don’t all have to wear the uniform to continue living up to the values that we learned, and our communities need those values just as much as they ever have. To the Veterans here today, regardless of your rank, job, or how long ago you served, a sincere thank you for the sacrifices that you and your families made along the way.”100 soldiers from Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment visited from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The Commander of Easy Company, Captain Jack Hoover, also spoke at the ceremony.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2rX7hB_1H0KIKkk00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2rX7hB_1H0KIKkk00" width="1206" height="1925" >“It is our honor to be here with you all. We made the trip here, on Monday, from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for three reasons. First, as many of you Veterans already know, it’s always good when you can get away from your higher headquarters’ flagpole. Next, is being able to be here today to participate in this Veterans Day event with all of you. And last, is to pay homage to our forefathers who were forged in the crucible of training here at Camp Toccoa. We are humbled that we carry forward the lineage of the greatest combat formation that the world has ever seen, one that was founded right here in Toccoa, Georgia.” Easy Company stayed at Camp Toccoa, most sleeping in the barracks, but some choosing to camp outside. They ran the famous three miles up and three miles down Currahee Mountain. The members of Easy Company signed a flag for Camp Toccoa at Currahee, thanking them for their stay.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0j8IOq_1H0KIKkk00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0j8IOq_1H0KIKkk00" width="2048" height="948" ><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0U66OG_1H0KIKkk00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0U66OG_1H0KIKkk00" width="2048" height="698" ></div></body>
