U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, MI-02, joined a public ceremony Monday in Montague to welcome home 119 members of the 1436th Army National Guard Engineering Company.
"I saw on the ground in Iraq and Kuwait earlier this year the outstanding job our brave men and women in uniform do for our country overseas, but nothing beats the return of the 1436th with their whole community waiting to welcome them back. I look forward to speaking with them and thanking them in person back on their home soil with their families," Huizenga said.
The public first met the 1436th Company on their bus route into town at about 9 a.m. Monday on the way to the Montague High School Football Stadium, where a public ceremony started at about 10:30 a.m.
