WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) _ North Dakota National Guard soldiers who

served a year in the Middle East are being honored.

The Guard scheduled a ``Freedom Salute'' ceremony Sunday

afternoon for the 160 members of the Wahpeton-based 188th Engineer

Company. They arrived home in August after a year of duty in

Kuwait.

The soldiers are from nearly 70 communities across North Dakota

and into Minnesota. Their work overseas involved construction

projects.
