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.
