Col. Francis Magurn, Land Component Commander of the Massachusetts National Guard, speaks to Soldiers from the 379th Engineer Company, who have been working alongside members of the Avon Department of Public Works conducting snow removal operations, following a series of winter storms which dumped record amounts of snow across the Bay State. The 379th Engineers recently returned from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
