296th Transportation Gets Big Sendoff

MOSS POINT -- Army Reserve personnel with the 296th Transportation Company spent tonight with their families and city residents during a Red, White and Blue sendoff at the downtown river boardwalk.


The Road Warriors from Brookhaven, Miss., leave Tuesday for Camp Shelby to train before they spend a yearlong tour of duty in Iraq, according to local media.


The sendoff, held as part of Moss Point's summer Waterfront Cafe series, included a concert by the Centre Stage band. The concert followed a dinner and other activities to thank the soldiers for their service.
