The guard troops here at the airport in Grand Rapids are armed with pistols. I assume live ammo too

Knowing the MI NG, they have a loaded magazine outside the weapon, and cannot lock and load, under pain of court martial, without direct orders. Michigan politicians do not trust us with loaded weapons, and they don't even trust their own troops.

AMERICAN LOVES OUR NATIONAL GUARD AND ALL OUR MILITARY PEOPLE = AMERICA....

Yep !!! In fact, I met my hubby (of 18 yrs) when he was in uniform. That's what made me notice him !!! I still honk & wave to the military men when we see them on the road. We need to support them, I always have and always will !!! Thanks for the post !!!

We sir, are with you. This country is incredibly united. More than I've ever seen in my 44 years.

Stay safe and God Bless.

"Dear armymen and policemen. Thank you for keeping our country safe. Your freinds (sic), Murphy and Hayden."

There are times when the simple thoughts of children can put verbose pundits like myself to shame. Bosniajmc, thank you for the sacrifices you've made for the rest of us. The devotion you and your fellow warriors have shown to your sworn duty, taking you far from family and friendsand placing you in a hostile land, speaks volumes to the quality of your character. I know I speak for the other Mississippi Freepers when I say you have our profound gratitude and appreciation. Well done, soldier!

Exeter, Brandon, Ms.

Hi, there, Bosniajmc! I hope all of y'all know how much you are appreciated. Stay safe, and God bless! From a fellow (well, gal, anyway) Mississippian.
