More Minnesota Army National Guard soldiers to return today to the Northland

Another group of Minnesota Army National Guard soldiers is slated to return to the Northland today after a nearly yearlong deployment to Iraq and Kuwait.

The public is invited to welcome home the troops from the 1st Squadron, 94th Calvary, 1st Brigade Combat Team as they arrive by bus at the Cloquet Armory, 801 State Highway 33 S. at about 1 p.m., and at the Duluth Armory, 4015 Airpark Blvd., at about 1:20 p.m. Arrival times are subject to change.

Today’s group is the third wave of troops to return home from a deployment that started last May. Two other groups of soldiers arrived back in the Northland last week.
