In Memoriam 

This page is dedicated to the memories of Army National Guard Soldiers lost while defending our nation's principles on 9/11, Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were bearers of a torch passed from one generation of Americans to the next since 1636. We will remember them in honor and in gratitude.
