Lakewood spokesman Jeff Brewster sent this e-mail regarding an event Thursday in honor of the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division:
At 7 a.m., Thursday, September 11 at Burs Restaurant, representatives from the 4-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Lakewood’s 'Community Connection' to Fort Lewis, will provide an overview of their 15-month deployment to Iraq. Lakewood residents are encouraged to commemorate Patriot Day by attending in this presentation and learning more about the 4-2 SBCT’s historic deployment.
The 4-2 began returning to Fort Lewis in late May after a grueling extended tour of nearly 15 months in Iraq.
For those interested in attending Thursday's event, Burs Restaurant is located at 6151 Steilacoom Blvd. SW.
