PA National Guard Soldiers Honored at Departure Ceremony
On Jan. 4, a departure ceremony was conducted at Fort Indiantown Gap to honor the Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers from the 528th Finance Company, 213th Regional Support Group as they prepared to leave for a yearlong deployment. The unit will deploy to the U.S. Central Command Area of Operations for a year in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. There are currently more than 1,000 members of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard serving outside the commonwealth and overseas providing stability and security operations and helping to prevent threats to the U.S. in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Thank you for your continued support of our service members!
Heartwarming Moment for the PAARNG at the PA Farm Show
The Pennsylvania Army National Guard’s (PAARNG) positive impact on our community was highlighted at this year’s annual Pennsylvania Farm Show. A heartwarming moment was caught on camera when a group of children had a photo of SFC Benjamin Sampson, PAARNG Recruiting and Retention Battalion, printed on a wooden canvas and brought it back to him for his signature. Recruiters, such as Sampson, are often the face of the PAARNG to the community and their dedication and commitment are truly appreciated!
