Task Force Green Mountain soldiers honored: "Vermont's Army National Guard paid public tribute this weekend to the nearly 600 men and women who served over a year in Kuwait as members of Task Force Green Mountain. Those soldiers living in the northern part of the state were honored Saturday at Norwich University. They arrived back in Vermont just before Christmas. Guard officials say they decided not to hold a formal ceremony sooner, to give the soldiers more time to reunite with their families and communities. So three months after returning from Kuwait, nearly 250 citizen soldiers stood at attention in Castleton State College's gymnasium yesterday to receive a somewhat delayed public thank you."
