Community Service

One of the Guard's missions is to provide support for communities around the state.  You may remember their involvement in the ice storm last year.  That effort took these soldiers away from their families and work for an extended period of time as they assisted utility companies and townships in any way that they could truly bringing meaning to their motto, "Always Ready.  Always There."

My daughter was involved in that community service effort.  She traveled from our home town in Northern New Hampshire to Manchester and found herself being added to the crew of a Connecticut based group from Public Service.  She primarily performed traffic control and assisted in residential areas where people were left without power for a number of days.  In the Guard, she was qualified as a supply sergeant, but when duty calls and the mission is defined, the Guard uses their resources in whatever capacity is in demand.  The skills and capabilities of the soldiers are taken in consideration when the duty assignments are made so as to be the best asset possible to the community efforts.

Proud of my soldier and all she did with the Guard and our communities while she served with the New Hamsphire Guard!
