Local Guard soldiers reflect on a changed Iraq

EDITOR'S NOTE: Five reporters statewide accompanied the Idaho Army National Guard to Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash., on Thursday in a C-12 Huron airplane to interview Idaho soldiers who recently returned from Iraq. The soldiers, including those based out of the Post Falls armory, are completing outprocessing procedures at the base this month before returning home. A community "welcome home" ceremony is being planned for late October.
