The New Richmond area community turned out to show their appreciation for the men and women of Company B, 1-128th Infantry National Guard on Saturday. Due to rain, there was no parade, but a nice ceremony at the Armory. Yellow ribbons were presented to each soldier and their families. These ribbons had been displayed on a wall in a New Richmond park the entire time that these guardsmen & women had been deployed.
As always, I was very proud of Captain Andrew Johansen.
He and his 1st Sargent shook the hand of all soldiers and families.
Although this group has been home since January, it felt good to celebrate their homecoming and service.
I think the familes appreciated the ceremony.
Even the smallest were greeted by the Captain.
Captain Johansen's family was also happy to thank him.
His Grandpa is very proud.
