(Press release from Sen. Amanda Ragan)
Brigadier General Tim Orr, the Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard, spoke to a joint session of the Iowa Legislature on Wednesday, February 16. Due to the Iraq and Afghan wars, our state is in the middle of the largest deployment of Iowa reserve and guard members since World War II. Dr. John Moellers of Greene, member of the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association, and Senator Amanda Ragan of Mason City listened closely to General Orr’s “Condition of the Iowa National Guard” address for opportunities to support our soldiers and their families. Last year, Iowa became the first state in the nation to approve 10 quality-of-life measures for military families requested by the U.S. Department of Defense.
