Welcome Home to the NDARNG A/188th ADA!!

Soldiers' Angel Shelle sends these photos to show how North Dakota welcomes its heroes home:


The NDARNG A/188th ADA arrived home today---- here are some photos from Bismarck-

HEY-- how cool that my hometown hero hankies got mentioned in this stoy (below)-- I think we have started something really cool---

I designed HomeTown Hero Hankies with the SA logo-- it was such a HUGE hit!!!! the families tied them around their arms.

see below.


ND Governor John Hoeven gets into the groove with a Home town hero hanky-- he is standing here with Joyce Mehrer (mom of fallen hero Curtis Mehrer) and Shiela Richter (Mom of fallen hero Tavis Van Zoest)


Here Is an overhead of the Gov talking to the familes... (my daughter beka is in the left corne-- black SA shirt and arm band- glasses)


Sam Floberg is in uniform-- and standing with the families as well- see the arm bands on many ( I gave out 500 of them)



My girls and our friends.......
