F\"CarterTyMichael\"<\/a>rom N.D. National Guard<\/p>\n

MINOT, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. NewsAug 26, 2013)\u00a0– The awarding of the Medal of Honor Monday to U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ty Michael Carter for his actions in Afghanistan is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices and heroism of all of the Soldiers that have served in the Global War on Terrorism.<\/p>\n

The battle at Combat Outpost Keating on Oct. 9, 2009, cost the lives of eight of my fellow Soldiers and wounded several others. I will never forget their selfless acts of heroism and teamwork by our entire unit that day; I am proud of all of them. I will continue to grieve with the families of these Soldiers and honor their memories.<\/p>\n

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Clinton L. Romesha \u00a0did not attend Carter’s award ceremony at the White House. He was previously committed to attending a homeless Veterans benefit event sponsored by the California Veterans Assistance Foundation in California when the award date was announced.<\/p>\n

\nSince the 2001 terrorist attacks on America, the North Dakota National Guard has mobilized more than 4,000 Soldiers and more than 2,400 Airmen in support of the Global War on Terrorism. About 70 percent of all members serving today have joined since that time. Currently, about 70 North Dakota Guardsmen are serving overseas and more than 200 are serving in Washington, D.C., and on the southwest border of the United States. With a total force of about 4,400 Guardsmen, the North Dakota National Guard remains ready for stateside response and national defense. For every 10,000 citizens in North Dakota, 65 serve in the North Dakota National Guard, a rate that’s more than four times the national average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
