Description
More than 600 Indiana National Guard soldiers are set to head to the Middle East as part of Operation Spartan Shield.
Hundreds of their loved ones and Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb gathered at Camp Atterbury for their departure ceremony.
The soldiers will spend the next month in Texas before heading to Kuwait, where they'll be headquartered.
Wednesday, Sept. 25 was a chance for the families and their state to say thank you as the soldiers get ready to leave.
"You are the best among us," Holcomb told the soldiers as they head off to a part of the world that will include an area designated a combat zone.
