Rome's National Guard Troop, Company A, is expected home today between 1-1:30. A procession that will take the soldiers from the East Rome Wal-mart to Dean Street, Turner McCall Boulevard, down Broad Street to Second Avenue to Redmond Circle, then out to the Rome bypass to the back entrance of the armory on Wilshire Road. A small ceremony will be planned at the armory for the estimated 45 to 50 soldiers with the unit. Most of them are not from the Rome area, she said.
If you can make it out on to the route somewhere or for the ceremony at the armory today please do. Show our soldiers how much you appreciate them and welcome them home.
If you can't make it, please take a moment for prayer thanking god for their safe return and to remember those who did not make it.
Don't forget a special little prayer for Jeffery Jordan from Rome killed less than a year ago. While not in Company A, he was part of the 108th.
