By Jackawa Jackson | July 27, 2009
On the morning of July 18, The Long Beach Fire Department as well as hundreds of well wishers and family members were on hand for the arrival of 1498th Transportation Company to Long Beach airport. The 270 soldiers were with the National Guard and were returning from a year- long deployment in Iraq. LBFD Crash units put on a water display, which encircled the soldier’s arriving flight demonstrating our extreme admiration and appreciation toward these brave men and women. The 1498th was fortunate to have not suffered a single casualty to enemy fire during their tour. During their deployment, this company was responsible for the transportation of supplies and equipment throughout various locations in Iraq.
