Guard unit gets grand send-off
EFL & Effect
Ye ol’ hat tip to InstaPundit
On Saturday morning, Washington Army National Guard Sgt. 1st Class Stroup kissed his kids goodbye, told his wife "I love you," and reported to the Puyallup armory of Troop E of the 81st Infantry Brigade’s 303rd Cavalry Regiment.
God bless him and his family.
Saturday, as men like Stroup packed duffel bags with clothes and gear, some 4,000 supporters stood on freeway bridges spanning Interstate 5 from Fort Lewis to McChord Air Force Base.
And God bless them. This is a nice touch.
