Army families were welcomed back by staff with the Fort Campbell Warrior Transition Battalion during a Gold Star Family breakfast and memorial garden rededication at the battalion last week.
The annual breakfast is put together by the Warrior Transition Battalion’s (WTB) military and civilian staff to honor the memory and support the families of the 37 WTB Soldiers who fought their final battle at the battalion, according to a release from the Public Affairs Office at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital.
During the breakfast, officials say families reconnected, shared their stories and opened their hearts to new members.
After the breakfast, guests and WTB staff moved outside to the battalion’s Eagle Warrior Memorial Garden for a rededication ceremony where battalion staff previously erected a plaque in the garden to memorialize its fallen soldiers. This year Army officials note four names were added, Specialist Abiodun Awojajo, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Weigman, Sergeant 1st Class Jeffrey Fleming and Private Corey Shackelford.
