Proper Send Off
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.

Thanks for sharing with all of us. We know what an emotional time this is and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We know with faith and the support of family and friends Nathan will come home safely. We will keep him in our prayers every day until that time.
Marge & Dale B.
Let me know what Nathan’s mailing address is when you get a chance.
Thanks!
Another test.
