Our fine state will be represented by more than just those of us civilians making the trek to Washington, DC in less than a week. According to reports, 1,000 National Guard Women and Men from the state of Iowa have been called up for duty...at the Inauguration Ceremony and related events. The same reports indicate there will be about 7,000 total soldiers and airmen on duty, representing 8 different states. That means service men and women from our state will be providing about 14% of the security and crowd control on that day. Pretty impressive.
I'm going to get busy writing those 1,000 going to see if they can throw an extra port-a-potty or two on their military transports. That is, of course, if I can finish shoveling my driveway at some point before nightfall.
