It was during the tumultuous times of anti-war protests in Berkeley. I remember watching the guys drive out, then seeing them on that night's news confronting the students. That would have been tough since many of them weren't much older. Glad you didn't have to do that duty.Jayne Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053366144206401836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-90710183408856572932011-05-22T23:43:56.491-07:002011-05-22T23:43:56.491-07:00Sounds like you guys did some great work!

I had no idea what kinds of things the National Guard were doing back in the day.<br /><br />I wonder if they still get involved in their home states in such a positive way.<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-12082943225180336832011-05-22T18:56:08.558-07:002011-05-22T18:56:08.558-07:00Nice to get acquainted with "Mr. Jenny" ...Nice to get acquainted with "Mr. Jenny" and to read his National Guard story.

He was glad to get home and go into the Guard.<br /><br />My son-in-law was in the Guard, and was called up to serve in Iraq, even though he was 45 at the time. He has never been the same.<br /><br />Glad you stayed safe so you could marry Mrs. Jenny!!!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-33518633845817195902011-05-22T08:11:53.354-07:002011-05-22T08:11:53.354-07:00The Great Dane was a communications officer for 28...The Great Dane was a communications officer for 28 years - it took us all over Canada, the USA and Germany.

The National Guard like the Coast Guard does not get the valuable credit the other military installations do. I liked this story and enjoyed reading it. We do not think about what many do to make our lives better and especially in difficulty. Thanks for sharing with us and enjoy your Sunday!
