Happy New Year from the 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade soldiers.

The 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade would like to start this new year overseas and away from our loved ones by wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

With the beginning of a new year, and months to count down before we are reunited with our families and friends, we are keeping a positive attitude and enjoying the positive feedback and smiles we receive from our soldiers doing seasonal shout-outs.

Soldiers that are supporting the 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade are from the 642nd Aviation Support Battalion, A Co., 3-142 Assault Helicopter Company, and C Co., 2/238th Air Ambulance.

Listed are the regions the soldiers are from and the time clips they are shown in the video:

Capital Region NY: 0:05-2:00
Downstate NY: 2:00-4:30
Western NY: 4:30-5:20
Indiana: 5:20-5:56
Maryland: 5:56- end

Thank you for supporting us from home.
Happy New Year!
