Duty Calls
While Brooks wanted nothing but to stay home and be by Haley’s side, the Army knocked on the door. Brooks was part of the 2nd Battalion, 114th Field Artillery Regiment and was required to be in Texas.
Also, Brooks would then be deployed to Kuwait for nine months. Brooks wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but he had no choice. Without knowing if he would be able to witness his daughter’s birth, Brooks anyway got ready for his shipment.
