: On Sunday, May 27th we will welcome home Spc. Kate Baer! Kate is coming home to Sonoma for a visit with her mother for the first time since her deployment to Iraq in January 2011. She was with the U.S. Army’s 272nd Military Police Co. 519 MP Battalion out of Ft. Polk, LA. Kate was injured while serving in Tikrit, Iraq. She was treated at Fort Sam Houston and has recently returned to duty with the HHC 1BSTB (Brigade Special Troops Battalion) 1st Brigade 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, TX. While recovering from her injuries, Kate volunteered at the Military Police Canine School and Operations at Lackland Airforce Base in San Antonio,TX. She was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for her service at Lackland.
Kate is the only daughter of Susan Baer of Sonoma, CA. and Rick Baer of Davenport, WA. She was in the first graduating class from Sonoma Academy HS and attended Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo.
Her parents are very proud of Kate’s service and Mom is thrilled to have her home this Memorial Day!
