From the Tulsa World newspaper, dated 21 December 2013: "Datelined Broken Arrow (Oklohoma) - Children of the soldiers deployed to Afgnanistan with the Oklahoma Army National Guard's 1220th Engineering Company got two surprises at the unit's homecoming ceremony Friday (20 December). The Mukogee-based unit's early homecoming, originally slated for January, was unexpected, family members said. The children were also allowed to choose a gift a toy, stuffed animal or clothing item donated to Operation Homefront, a Lawton-based charitable organization supporting military families. - - - - - About 150 soldiers deployed with the 1220th built and demolished roadways and other paved surfaces for Afghan and coalition forces while overseas. They arrived in the Patkia province in March (2013) after completing several weeks of training in Fort Bliss, Texas."
