Gov. Chris Sununu on Friday morning ordered the immediate return of all New Hampshire National Guard members from Washington, D.C., citing an alarming report that Guardsmen from across the country were forced to sleep in unheated parking garages. I’ve ordered the immediate return of all New Hampshire National Guardsmen and women from Washington DC, Sununu said in a statement. They did an outstanding job serving our nation’s capital in a time of strife and should be graciously praised, not subject to substandard conditions.
