Pocatello Journal-Views;"The 1,300 or so National Guard soldiers from Idaho who are training at Fort Bliss, Texas, will get 10 days to two weeks leave before shipping out for Iraq in November or December. That's nice. Trouble is, if the soldiers want to come home during that time, they are on their own. Air fare is about $350 per person and the government isn't paying it. Help in that respect is forthcoming from several sources around the state. To bring the troops home on leave, since the Army isn't doing it. There hardly seems a more worthwhile cause.If you would like to help, telephone 208-422-5268, or contact the National Guard for information."
I posted this in hopes that others will see this in case they missed it, or don't live in Pocatello. Also included a phone number if you would like to do something to help these soldiers come home to see their famies, before the go over to Iraq
