Gordon Traveny Jr. Returns To U.S.

Army National Guard Sgt. Gordon Traveny Jr. has returned to the U.S. after being deployed overseas at a forward operating base in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Operation Iraqi Freedom is the official name given to military operations involving members of the U.S. armed forces and coalition forces participating in efforts to free and secure Iraq. Mission objectives focus on force protection, peacekeeping, stabilization, security and counter-insurgency operations as the Iraqi transitional governing bodies assume full sovereign powers to govern the peoples of Iraq.

Members from all branches of the U.S. military and multinational forces are also assisting in rebuilding Iraq's economic and governmental infrastructure, and training and preparing Iraqi military and security forces to assume full authority and responsibility in defending and preserving Iraq's sovereignty and independence as a democracy.

Traveny, an infantryman, is assigned to the 1st Battalion, 111th Infantry Regiment, Philadelphia, PA. He has served in the military for seven years.

He is the son of Gordon and Marge Traveny of Montrose, PA.

His wife, Raynele, is the daughter of Raymond Romanowski of Falls, PA and Jeanann Romanowski of Lake Winola, PA.

The staff sergeant is a 2000 graduate of Elk Lake High School, Dimock, PA.
