Our Medford National Guard Unit assembled last Saturday to say farewell to the community. They were honored with a ceremony with the gym being packed. As we entered the hall, we were handed an American flag- this little girl just kept hers flying high. The unit will be leaving Medford this week for their second tour to Iraq.
They all marched in and stood there through the program. I asked my Army guy ,"How can they stand like that without moving a muscle?" He assured me that they are in top shape and they are young yet!
After the program , they all marched back outside. When I looked at those faces, some looked about 14 years old, some had greying hair, and they all held their heads high!! Going off to war to protect their families and their country. God be with each and everyone of you. Prayers are out for your safe return in one year. God Bless America--
