The Combative Tournament on April 3, 2009 was a great success with Soldiers from the “Big Red One”. The units were from 1st Infantry Division 1/16, 2/16, 1/28, 1/34 and 1st Engineer group. But we can’t forget the WTB, and DHHB. The building was bustling with Soldiers and families sitting like in an arena watching a WWF fight. The excitement was overwhelming with yelling for the favorite fighter to bring down his opponent. But the best part that seemed all the Soldiers enjoyed was the Family Readiness Group snack station from EOD 84th, 630th, 162nd, and the 774th these wife’s supplied hot dogs, nachos, Bar-B-Beef sandwiches, sausages sandwiches, and sodas.
