Members of Oregon National Guard 1186 MP unit got a welcome surprise as they passed through the City of The Dalles yesterday afternoon. The Gorge Heroes Club invited members of the community to come and line the overpass to show their support for our Warriors who are being deployed to Afghanistan.
GHC planned the event but never shared it with the unit. We wanted it to be a total surprise... and it was! Their supporters stayed on the overpass until every one of the 40+ unit vehicles had passed, spanning several hours. GHC received thumbs up and a huge "You Rock" from the unit members and 2LT Fike.
The Gorge Heroes Club is honored to be supporting the Warriors of the 1186 during their deployment.
With pride,
Your GHC
