Shaheen Receives Highest Honor from National Guard Association of the United States for Distinguished Service in Support of U.S. National Defense

"My work on behalf of the National Guard has been a point of pride in both my Senate and gubernatorial careers so I'm very honored to be recognized today by the National Guard Association," said Senator Shaheen. "My gratitude goes out to all the men and women who risk their lives every day in defense of our nation, particularly the New Hampshire Air National Guard's 157^th Air Refueling Wing who deployed in support of Operation Epic Fury and the brave soldiers from New Hampshire's own Charlie Company, 172nd Mountain Infantry Regiment, who deployed last month in support of Operation Spartan Shield."
