Welcome Home to Johnathan Hicks
Local News
Only learned that Jonathan was reading about local news on LNO in Iraq and LNO readers were encouraged to email him. The following letter was received from Ronnie Hicks, Johnathan's wife this date.
I just wanted to let the LNO readers know that my husband, Keller Police Officer, Johnathan Hicks has returned to Texas safely from Iraq.He arrived back at Ft Hood Monday morning and is spending this week debriefing. Johnathan left for Ft Hood to begin training for deployment on August 18, 2004. He was sent to Iraq from Ft Hood the 1st week of January 2005.
He plans to take some time off before returning to KPD to bond with our 13 month old daughter.
There is a Homecoming celebration for the 3000 returning local troops at Baylor’s Floyd Casey stadium in Waco on Saturday, Dec 10th at 2pm. The public is encouraged to attend.
There is also going to be a huge military parade in Denton, honoring these men and all veterans on Saturday, December 17th. The parade route begins at the Square in Denton and is scheduled to last an hour and a half. The parade is being sponsored by the Denton VFW.
We are in debt to this organization for providing greatly needed supplies during the deployment. Under Armor t-shirts, tools and any other necessities the Army couldn’t provide were shipped to the unit upon request.
Please accept my family’s thanks to have received so much support and prayers from the LNO readers and our community. Our family is truly blessed and we could not have made it through this past year without everyone’s support.
From our family to yours, we wish you all a very blessed and Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Ronnie HicksWatauga, TX
