Sending Off Our Soldiers

A few weekends ago the largest deployment of Wyoming National Guard in the history of our state was sent off to the Middle East. The Lander unit was one that was deployed. We had a big parade through downtown Lander to send them off.

Forrest liked the little American flags the Junior Naval ROTC program students were passing out.


Our niece, Allison, is a member of the Junior Naval ROTC. She, along with three other students, provided the color guard for the parade. Allison is on the far left carrying a rifle.

Here is the Lander National Guard unit. There are over 80 people in it, not all of them from our area.
