KABUL - As soldiers of an army reserve unit from the US state of Georgia headed to Afghanistan, families and relatives gave them a tearful sendoff, a TV channel reported.
The army reserve unit from South Fulton County left for Afghanistan following a departure ceremony in East Point, said Channel 2 Action News on Sunday.
One woman at the ceremony was quoted as saying: "You hate to see them leave, but it's for the best. We know they're going to do their jobs well. I'm proud of my son-in-law, so I know he's going to do well."
