KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- Often doing a deployment means being thousands miles away from the people you love. However, for a few individuals this is not so. Jessie Horn a logistics management specialist at the Army Material Command Logistical Support Element at Kandahar Airfield is here with her son Spc. Antonio Horn, an information systems operator with Task Force 115 Combat Support Hospital at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan.
“It’s a good feeling.” says Jessie of Camp Shelby, Miss. “I enjoy seeing him every so often.”
The two have the opportunity to see each other every few months when the younger Horn comes up to Kandahar as part of his duties.
“It’s always s nice to have family.” says Antonio of Fort Polk, La. “It’s a good feeling that you are not alone in country.”
By the end of Antonio’s deployment the two will have spent several months in country together.
“It’s a plus to have her here.” continues Antonio. “Whenever I need help she is always there--whenever I have questions about my soldiers.
“She has been supporting us since she put foot on the ground.” Antonio said. “Especially when you need that suck it up kick.”
“I enjoy supporting soldiers, whether it’s my son or all soldiers that s what I enjoy doing.” responded Jessie.
