Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of Kansans, 430 National Guard soldiers will be home for Christmas.
Flanked by several soldiers and oversized checks, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius announced Friday that private and corporate donations totaling more than $146,000 had been raised -- more than enough to charter buses to Fort Bliss, Texas, where the 1st Battalion, 161st Field Artillery is training for a year before going to Iraq.
"We think that total will grow because people have committed to donations that aren't quite in hand yet," Sebelius said. "This is just a great way to say thank you. Thank you to (the soldiers). Thank you to the families." (More at link)
