Marines Deploy
Dyess Air Force Base, Texas - Fourteen Marines from Det. 1 deployed to Iraq Jan. 7 to support vehicle maintenance operations. The Marines are Reservists primarily from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Detachment 1 is located here to better serve the Marine mission.
"This is what I signed up up for," said Lance Cpl. Christian Orozco. "I'm ready to be a part of the fight that the Marines have been apart of since Sept. 11."
"The (Dyess community) has been great to help get us ready. They made it easy for us from the start with the medical to deployment readiness," said Lance Cpl. Joel Herrera.
