Soldier Calls Home Through WOBM News

by Jason Allentoff

A New Egypt resident fighting in the war on terror over in Iraq sends an audio postcard home to his family.

Captain Kevin Welsh with the New Jersey Army National Guard's 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is overseas as we speak and stationed at Camp Bucca in the Middle East. For the past 18 years, Captain Welsh has served his country proud on a variety of missions. From Grenada in 1983 to his current deployment, Welsh says he has learned a lot from his military experiences and he is grateful to all who have stood by him during difficult times. When he is home, he works as a corrections officer for the state police department. He's been married for the past 21 years and has four children. When he returns home, he would like to teach history or science and go back to get a Master's Degree. He says he misses his wife and kids very much and can't wait to see them again. When he arrives home, he wants to return to active duty with the First Army at Fort Dix.
