On November 11th, a large homecoming ceremony was held at
the Aviation Maintenance Facility at Camp Edwards for 180 members of the 26th
Aviation Regiment, just returning from over a year in the Iraqi Theater.
In attendance were more than 600 friends and family
members of the return troopers. Also in attendance were ESGR representatives,
Dave St. Germain, Tom Boyle and Ski Borowski.
Numerous questions from the troops were answered by
the ESGR team from the Southeastern Massachusetts Area. In addition, the team
distributed information for the troops and their employers. Brigadier General
Oliver Mason, AG of the Massachusetts National Guard was on hand and spent a
considerable amount of time with the ESGR Team.
