There’s a sendoff in central Iowa tonight for a group of National Guard soldiers who are deploying overseas. Guard spokesman, Colonel Michael Wunn, says the sendoff is at the unit’s headquarters in Boone. Wunn says the sendoff is at the Boone High School gym at 5 p.m. “And then the 60 from the helicopter unit, that’ll bring us up to approximately 70 Iowa Army National Guard soldiers who are deployed. Plus we have two or threes who are deployed to Kosovo.”He says the Boone unit will be deployed for one year.
