"Got A MInute?" NJ's National Guard Rolls Out

Gotaminute_100 This morning, convoys rolled out of National Guard armories across the state -- the first step in the state's largest overseas deployment of its citizen militia since World War II.  Some 3,000 soldiers left today for training in Pennsylvania.  Next fall, they are due to ship out to Iraq.  This week, I spent time in two armories -- in Teaneck and in Morristown -- as soldiers prepared for this historic deployment.Img_1531_2 Img_1533  For my one-minute audio column, please click here:  Download GotAMinute032808.mp3
