Army Spc. Brandon Sitton, a gunner, and his brother, Army Pfc. Joshua Sitton, a driver, both from Graycourt, S.C., are deployed together as members of the security force element for the team’s Orgun detachment.

The brothers are deployed from the South Carolina National Guard’s 1/178th Field Artillery, B Battery.

“In the Army, everyone’s like a brother to you,” said Joshua, the younger brother by three years. “In my case, having someone that actually is blood-related serving right next to me is really special.”

God Bless and stay safe, all of you!!!
