I'm very proud to be able to serve with the Cavalry Scouts of 3rd Platoon, Anvil troop, 1st Squadron, 4th United States Cavalry in their efforts to bring peace and stability to the dictator- ravaged and war-torn country of Iraq. The men that I am privileged to lead are some of the finest that America has to offer, and all of you can take pride and comfort in the fact that THEY will be living their lives and carrying out their duties for 355 consecutive days for YOU and the ideals of freedom, justice, and democracy. I would ask that you please pray for them, success in their missions, and their safe return at the end of their tour. From my own personal point of view, an Army leader can work his whole career and never have such an opportunity to take soldiers like these into combat. I remain humbled and awed at what they do every day that I get to work for them. Until Later. Andy. Capt. Houghton is survived by his parents, George and Cynthia Houghton of Comfort, brother 2LT Matthew Houghton of Fort Sill, OK and grandmothers Dee Damron of Missouri City and Wilma Houghton of Houston.
