PHOENIX — Four members of the Army National Guard took part in a send-off ceremony Friday afternoon, ahead of a deployment to the Middle East.
The four soldiers will pilot or support C-12 Cargo Planes overseas. The National Guardsmen and women are citizen-soldiers, meaning each one is leaving behind a full-time job to serve their country.
Staff Sergeant Michelle Young works in the Human Resources department of a construction supply company. She said her company has been very supportive, and so has her nine-year-old daughter.
