Millers Creek, N.C., resident, 1st Sgt. Thomas Watts, and Maj. Tim Cox, from Plantation, Fla., display their unit's Yellow Banner and Welcome Home plaque upon its return from a deployment to Iraq during a ceremony at Army Support Activity-Dix's B Company June 9. Their unit, C Company, 422nd Civil Affairs Battalion is an Army Reserve organization from Greensboro, N.C. that mobilized out of Dix last summer. While deployed the unit worked around the Mosul, Iraq area where it managed the renovation of 101 educational schools, developed projects that created 5,000 agricultural jobs, and helped open 30 womens' centers. The Yellow Banner is given to units who mobilize through ASA-Dix as a symbolic gesture that they are in the thoughts and well-wishes of the ASA-Dix community. The banner is hung in Infantry Park while the unit is deployed and given back to the organization upon its return from combat.
