The Jupiter Courier, FL (reg req'd), has an article on a support program initiated by the Jupiter High School, FL, Junion Reserve Officer Training Program. The JROTC adopted the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry with a program dubbed "Operation Warriors Helping Warriors" (both the high school and brigade have the nickname "Warriors"). So far, over 70 boxes of care packages, including student written letters and cards, have been mailed. 2nd BCT Commander Col Gary S. Patton has communicated with the JROTC commander, and an excerpt is included in the article:
"Nearly every hour of every day since mid-October, we have fought cut-throat criminals, fanatical terrorists and hard core insurgents who fight with suicide bombers, roadside bombs, hide behind children and store their war supplies in religious shrines," 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division Col. Gary Patton e-mailed JROTC Col. Ken Hinkle.
"We fight with extreme violence against the insurgents and terrorists and with care and compassion toward the innocent Iraqi people. Despite the terror and inhumanity of this war, we stay focused on the fact that every terrorist killed over here is one less that can terrorize our hometown or Jupiter or Washington, D.C."

The Washington Times carries an article on the changing structure of the 2nd ID in Korea, with mention of the 3600 soldiers with the 2nd BCT in Iraq. The article said those 3600 will not return to Korea, and "about 1,400 more will follow them this month." There was no indication on whether those 1400 are going to Iraq or returning stateside. A Stars & Stripes article on the drawdown said the military has publicly declined to identify the units involved.
