Efrem Dennis could hardly contain his glee or tears when he saw his brother, Sgt. Therman Dennis, after a 15-month tour of duty in Iraq.

Therman Dennis was one of 180 members of the 15th Transportation Company and the 168th Brigade Support Battalion to return to Fort Sill on Saturday. His wife, Leeann, and their 10-year-old son, A.C. also welcomed Sgt. Dennis home.

Lt. Col. Gregory P. DeWitt, deputy commanding officer of the 214th Fires Brigade, said the 168th was charged with providing physical support to troops in Baghdad. DeWitt said all of the brigade’s members returned safely.

Relatives relieved of duty
Brigade members Andra Boyd and Lucinda Lewis, husband and wife, deployed together in July 2007, leaving the care of their 14-month-old son, Dakari, in the hands of their families. The couple missed their son’s first steps and first words.
