This year has been a busy year for the Minnesota National Guard as we welcome home our soldiers and airmen from around the world supporting both real world and humanitarian taskings (i.e. 834 ASB, 257 MP Co, 133AW and 148FW). We welcomed a new Adjutant General and said “Thank YOU for your service!” to those that retired this year. And alas …. we mourned the loss of our brothers and sisters we lost throughout the year. It’s not hard to take for granted the simple things that make us who we are … Minnesota National Guard family! Even though Christmas was just a few days ago, the leadership team at your Minnesota National Guard Enlisted Association would like to thank you all for your support of our Association as we continue to work for you — our Minnesota Guard Family. As we set to ring in the new year, MNGEA wishes everyone a joyous and safe holiday season!
