<p><strong>They  [Soldiers] will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held
  high.  One of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of the
  American  military will come to an end. Iraq's future will be in the hands
  of its  people. America's war in Iraq will be over.</strong></p>
<p><em>—President Obama, 14 December 2011</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The magnitude of what this Nation and our Soldiers have  accomplished in 
  Iraq is unprecedented. We have never been more proud of  our Army – our 
  Soldiers, Civilians and our Families. You freed over  twenty-five million 
  people from tyranny and given hope when hope was  forsaken. Our Army 
  provided new opportunity for the people of Iraq. No other  Army in the 
  world could have accomplished what you have done - Only  American Soldiers.</p>
<p>Throughout Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New  Dawn, our Soldiers 
  embodied physical and mental toughness and courage under  fire. Over the 
  past eight years, the quality of our Soldiers has stood  in stark 
  contrast to the desert sands. Just as the WWII generation  defeated 
  tyranny across the globe, a new generation - galvanized  by the attacks 
  of September 11th - bravely defeated tyranny once again.  Even during the 
  darkest days in Iraq, our Soldiers never wavered in the  face of growing 
  doubt. They continued to risk life and limb for a cause  larger than 
  themselves. For their heroic action, they received nearly  9,000 awards 
  for valor including two Medals of Honor, 16 Distinguished  Services 
  Crosses, and 408 Silver Stars.</p>
  
<p>We remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice,  our Wounded 
  Warriors, our Gold Star Families, and all of our loved  ones who have 
  been touched by the horror of war. Their sacrifices have  given meaning 
  to our values and ideals. For that, we thank them. A  grateful Nation 
  will always remember, respect, and appreciate these  heroes as the Next 
  Greatest Generation.</p>
  
<p>We are extremely proud of all of our Soldiers, Civilians,  and Families. 
  Our Army has once again proved that it is America's Force  of Decisive 
  Action. Thank you for a job well done. Army Strong!</p>

<p><strong><em>Aroostook County</em></strong> -  The efforts of Northern
 Maine Community College and its employees to support the U.S. military,
 specifically the efforts of national guardsmen and women, were 
recognized today in a surprise ceremony for employees attending the 
annual campus holiday gathering.</p>
<p> The elite Seven Seals Award is the only Employer Support of the 
Guard and Reserve (ESGR) award that bridges both the employer and the 
ESGR volunteer recognition awards program.  The award was presented by 
ESGR and Maine Army National Guard officials to NMCC President Timothy 
Crowley before the College's 100 employees and several family members 
and friends of the College who gathered for the annual Holiday luncheon.<br>
  "We work closely with employers across the nation so men and women 
have good, gainful employment when they come back from training and 
deployment," said Gregory Small, executive director, Maine committee of 
ESGR.  "NMCC is an excellent example of the best of the best in this 
regard."<br>
  The ESGR, which selects Seven Seals Award recipients, is a branch of 
the Department of Defense that was originally created to promote 
cooperation between Reserve and National Guard military members and 
civilian employers.  The Seven Seals Award is the highest award given by
 the ESGR, and was created to publically recognize American employers 
who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to employees 
and families of those that have been called to serve in the armed 
forces.<br>
  Presenting the award to Crowley, along with Small, was Brigadier 
General Brent Boyles, who serves as assistant adjutant general – Army, 
Maine National Guard.  Boyles, who lives and works in central Aroostook 
County, spoke about NMCC's strong reputation in the region of being 
supportive of both the military and local community. </p>

</p>
<p>The military organization we know today as the National  Guard came 
into existence with a direct declaration on December 13, 1636.  On 
this date, the Massachusetts General Court  in Salem, for the first time
 in the history of the North American continent, established  that all 
able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 60 were required to join  the
 militia.  The North, South, and East  Regiments were established 
with this order. The decree excluded ministers and  judges.  Simply
 stated, citizen-soldiers  who mustered for military training could be 
and would be called upon to fight  when needed.  </p>
<p>Always Ready, Always There</p>
<ul>
<li> Direct descendent of the militias of the 13 English  colonies; 
oldest component of the U.S. military, with units dating back to  1636.</li>
<li> According to U.S. Constitution, both a state and  Federal force, 
under control of the governor unless called to active service by  the 
President.</li>
<li> Has fought in every American war, from the 1600s to  present combat
 in Afghanistan and Iraq. At one point in 2005, Army National  Guard 
brigades made up more than 50% of U.S. Army combat brigades in Iraq, the
  Army Guard's largest combat role since WWII.</li>
<li> In its state role, a key player in homeland defense and  disaster 
relief; within 2 weeks of Hurricane Katrina's landfall, more than  
42,000 Army National Guard troops from across the country were deployed 
to the  Gulf Coast for relief operations</li>
</ul>
