Fort Knox – History is being made this month at Fort Knox. For the army post just north of Elizabethtown, it's the first major combat deployment since World War Two. Thirty-five hundred soldiers are headed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On Thursday, the community gathered on post to give the soldiers a hearty send-off. Lisa Autry was at the deployment ceremony and has this report.
