National Guard Deployment Ceremony.

160 National Guard soldiers are flying from Monroe to Afghanistan this afternoon. They are from this area. They held a Deployment Ceremony this morning in a church in West Monroe. The Ruston VFW Post set up 50 flags in front of the church.







Bobby Jindal was the main speaker. I think that he did a great job.


It was a well done ceremony and I am glad that I attended. It was quite a family affair. Lots of children.

The picture below is of Paul Foreman, a fellow member of the Ruston VFW. He was far away and my flash did not do him justice. But that is Paul
