MADISON, Wis. – When duty calls, the Wisconsin National Guard answers.
Those calls have been demanding and frequent over the past year, taking service members away from their civilian jobs, education and families to bring them to the frontlines of not only the pandemic response, but to elections, protests and unrest.
“I don’t know that I could’ve imagined quite the scenario that’s played out,” Lt. Col. Matt McDonald said. “We ask a lot of our force and that’s no surprise, no secret.”
McDonald’s 20 years with the Wisconsin National Guard have been filled with missions close to home and abroad.
