PHOENIX â Before leaving family and friends behind, four Arizona National Guardsmen were given an Army send-off ceremony ahead of deployment to the Middle East.
On Friday afternoon, four Arizona National Guardâs C-12 Fixed Wing Detachment were given a send-off ceremony. The crew will serve six months overseas conducting transportation missions. Itâs hard to leave your family, but when you sign up, itâs what you decided to do, said CW-2 Tyler Sepp, who held his seven-week-old son, Colt, tightly after the ceremony. Heâs new to us, heâs our first child. We have that support and a new purpose so itâs going to be difficult to be away from that.
