A Welcome Home!

The National Guard First Battalion 194th Field Artillery Battery A stationed out of Estherville, IA got a welcome home celebration yesterday, July 11. They found themselves 'home' shortly before 2 PM yesterday, as they entered the Estherville-Lincoln-Cenral High School football field at that time. A few general speeches were made by the local mayor, and other officers, before the troops were finally given their 'dismissed' orders. Upon that, families and friends of the troops were rushing onto the field to give their soldiers the greetings' that they deserved.

Oh, almost forgot one special event, just before the end of the ceremony, Angela Stewart was proposed to by Sergeant Dotson of Pocahontas, Iowa. You can see a couple of those images below, given the second one of the set, I think it was safe to assume it was a 'yes'. More images besides the ones below can be seen online, National Guard Gallery.
