Operation Welcome Home

Posted

Members of Company A, 1st Battalion 293rd Infantry, mustered for active duty Nov. 11 and served the U.S. as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq for nine months. In July the men were part of the first National Guard battalion in the country to receive the highly coveted Combat Infantry Badge from the Department of the Army since the Korean War. Family, friends and citizens gathered at the Kosciusko County Courthouse at noon Friday to welcome the troops back home.
