The poster states the year they graduated and in which combat area they served. It doesn’t mention what branch of the service they were, or are, in. The graduating years range from 1973 to 2009. Twenty men and one woman from HFCS have served in Iraq. One was in Iraq twice, another four times. One served in Kuwait and Iraq. Thirteen men and one woman have served in Afghanistan. The list may be far from complete.
