The Bennington Banner reports on the Vermont B National Guard Troop, which is headed to Indiana for training before a deployment to Afghanistan. The soldiers were based at Vermont's historic Bennington Armory.The paper reports that family, friends, and even veterans of previous wars came to support the approximately 80 soldiers on a blustery, frigid day. Look at what the Harrington family is dealing with:
The couple is expecting a third son in February during the deployment. Their two sons understand how long their father will be away in terms of the birthdays and holidays their father will miss. The youngest takes it well, while the oldest is more aware of what’s going on, she said.
"’Daddy is going to fight the bad guys’ is what he tells people," she said. "His father is a hero to him."
Let's all pray that Sgt. Jeremy Harrington is able to hug his sons again very soon.
