Proper Send Off

Posted by wayne on Sep 7, 2004 in Family |

Last weekend was the formal send-off ceremony for Nathan’s National Guard unit. It was a great weekend, albeit one with some strong emotions. Nathan’s unit is being deployed in about two weeks. Knowing that both the Milbank Guard Unit and Chris Berg’s Army Unit were deployed to the Middle East and have since returned home safely gives me great optimism than the same will be true for Nathan’s unit. I know we’d all appreciate you keeping Nathan and the other soldiers from Marshall in your prayers and thoughts.

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
