FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- The memorable experience that United States Army Staff Sgt. Adam Keith gained while interacting with Braves players at Fort Bragg on Sunday morning was far different than the unforgettable assignment he was given in 2010, when he was a member of the last United States Army brigade to exit Iraq.
"For our last mission, we actually drove our strikers from Baghdad all the way down to Kuwait," Keith said. "That is an experience I'll never forget."
During his two years (2009-10) in the Middle East, Keith gained a sense of home whenever he was given an opportunity to keep tabs on his beloved Braves, the team he had fervently followed dating back to his childhood in Surfside, S.
