910th reservists head to the Middle East. Southwest Asia

VIENNA — “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” the title of the well-known holiday song, is the hope of 18 Air Force reservists with the 910th Airlift Wing here who left for a six-month tour in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Southwest Asia.

“Come home safely,” was the theme of the families and loved ones they left behind today.

“We will pray for her safe return,” said Noeleen and Joseph Costick of Austintown, parents of 21-year-old Staff Sgt. Nadia Costick, for whom it is the second deployment to the Middle East.

The 18 deployed reservists, 16 of whom are members of the 76th Aerial Port Squadron and two who are assigned to the 910th Logistics Readiness Squadron, provide cargo handling, passenger services and ramp services for air terminal operations centers.
