Twenty-seven men stood in formation before Col. Paul Stroud.
"It's not lost on me that tomorrow is Mother's Day," said Stroud, commander of the Army National Guard's 111th Ordnance Group.
Stroud was among a handful of high-ranking officers who showed up at the Alabama National Guard armory in Jacksonville on Saturday to see off the soldiers of the Guard's 666th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, who will soon head to an undisclosed location in Asia -- likely Afghanistan -- for the next 10 months.
