The last few days have been some of the hardest in my life as I spent the last 48 plus hours with my daughter before she left on deployment. I am so very very proud of her and of Company C. They are a very special company. I am going through such a roller coaster of feelings. I am close to a few of the soldiers in her Company as well. Her sisters and I hugged and held her as much as we could before we had to let her go onto the bus that will take her and the rest to their destination. God Bless them for their duties of keeping us safe and for the incredible job they have ahead of them that will help so many Soldiers in Afghanistan. I miss you my beautiful girl!
Local Soldiers Deploy to Afghanistan.
Sixty five men and with with the National Guard based out of the Wyoming Armory are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.
WYOMING - The National Guard Armory in Wyoming held a deployment ceremony Thursday afternoon for sixty five soldiers who are heading to fight the war in Afghanistan.
The men and women are part of a communication network, that will help soldiers communicate on the front lines.
The soldiers are departing this week for two months of training before heading to the war torn county.
There's a wide variety of soldiers deploying from a number of different backgrounds. They include a soldier who's leaving his pregnant wife behind, a nineteen year old medic who just learned she was deploying two weeks ago, and a young woman who's heading out on her first deployment.
We'll have a live report tonight on Fox 17 News at 6 and 10.
