Hundreds of 4th ID soldiers said goodbye to loved ones and boarded planes Monday for the trip to Iraq.
Baskets were laid out on tables for soldiers to pick up writing paper, packets of sunscreen, American flags and decks of playing cards as parting gifts.
Other volunteers offered rosary beads and Bibles with camouflage covers.
By the end of December, nearly 21,000 troops from the division at Fort Hood are scheduled to deploy to Iraq.
