Departing troops get final send-off in Bothell

A total of 25 Army reservists enjoyed a final get-together with family members Oct. 30 before leaving for a year-long assignment helping welcome home fellow soldiers returning from overseas. The send-off took place at Bothell American Legion Post 127. Members of the 959th Replacement Co., the reservists are on their way to the Continental U.S. Replacement Center in Fort Benning, Ga., where, beginning in November, they will help process home up to 100 returning troops per day.
