For nearly a year, NHPR has been talking to members of the 36-43rd Company of the New Hampshire National Guard stationed in Iraq.
They were assigned to guard a detention facility at Camp Victory in Baghdad.
It wasn't a mission the company had a lot of training for.
After all, they are a maintenance company.
And it wasn't a mission the soldiers expected when they were deployed.
Still, the Company's Commanding Officer, Captain Tony Gagnon brags that the men and women of the 36-43rd have done a great job.....and says soon they'll be leaving Iraq.
And he tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that the soldiers are more than a little excited about coming home.
