Lotta is expected to arrive in Texas around December 7th - and there will be a large Welcome Home ceremony in Waco a few days later to welcome back all the soldiers.  If you want to attend the Welcome Home ceremony in Waco, the information is below:

"We will conduct our "Welcome Home" Ceremony on the 10th of December at 2:00 pm at Baylor University's Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco. ... I hope that all families and friends will join the Thunderbolt Brigade in celebrating our homecoming."

After the Welcome Home ceremony, Lotta may be released for a short time - but it is likely that she will still on orders for another week.  We'll let you know when she is officially on leave and when any local, Austin welcome home festivities are planned.
