In case you didn't know, today is "the day of the deployed." It's a day in honor of all of the troops who are currently deployed all over the world. Yes, despite the withdrawal from Afghanistan, we still have thousands of troops deployed all over the world who are serving in a variety of capacities.
Those who answered the call to serve obviously felt a calling to serve our country. But I also think those same veterans want to make sure that those patriotic values are instilled in the next generation.
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT) welcomed home a wave of Montana National Guard troops back from service in Washington, DC. Greg and his wife Susan greeted troops on the tarmac in Helena earlier this week.
Job well done, @GuardMontana. Wel
...
If you've travelled the state or talked to folks around Montana, whether it is folks working in the schools, or working in hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities- they will all tell you what a Godsend these National Guard soldiers and airmen have been.
A group of Montana soldiers will soon be headed overseas on a military deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, and Operation Spartan Shield.
We'll have more info to follow later this week, but the Montana National Guard shared some very exciting news over the weekend- free tuition for ALL Montana National Guard soldiers and airmen at state colleges.
