A DANGEROUS MISSION': Nevada Guard gets call
more than 630 Nevada national guard soldiers will leave in the spring for Afghanistan in what will be the largest overseas deployment of a group of citizen-soldiers from the state since world war ii, the unit's commander said Tuesday. "this is a very serious, complex and essentially a dangerous mission. they understood that when they signed up," said lt. col. Scott Cunningham, commander of Nevada's 1st squadron, 221st cavalry. his comments came during a telephone interview in which he confirmed the deployment preparations on the eve of an announcement expected today by the state military office. "we're trying to get over there with as many guys as we can," the 42-year-old tank commander said. after training at camps in california and indiana, he said, the cavalry troopers will mobilize and depart in april for locations in afghanistan under a plan that has been in the works for months.

Oh, Chelsea, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be handling that very well. I just have to remember that it is all in God's hands and that this life is temporary for all of us. I hope Sean will be safe, and Dallon, but realistically, things are not going to be pretty. I'm sorry you have to deal with it, but grateful for brave men who are willing to put their lives on the line. We'll keep you in our prayers.

We are praying for you and your family!
