Hey ya'll, this episode kicks off a very special time for us: 20 years since our deployment to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom 2. In this episode, we sit down with two members of Charlie Co, 2-108 IN, the New York Army National Guard that found themselves attached to 1-26 IN. As this is the first episode in the series, we keep the subject centered around train up for the deployment, what their thoughts were being attached to an active duty unit, and the personal feelings of going to war after the attacks on 9/11. Stay tuned to future episodes in the series to hear more from these men and others from the NG company, and so much more. And as always, thanks for watching and listening to our story!
