U. S. Senator, Jerry Moran, recently visited Eastern Europe with a bipartisan group of Senators and met with 1st Infantry Division soldiers deployed from Fort Riley at a U. S. Army Training Base in Germany. Senator Moran also met with Kansans assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division One. Moran thanked the soldiers for the sacrifice and commitment they make for our country and the American people. One of the soldiers he spoke with was Sergeant First Class Javelin Mills, from Pomona. Mills explained the live-fire-exercise as tanks maneuvered to stop simulated enemy targets and provided cover fire for soldiers on the ground. Moran says he greatly appreciated speaking with him about his experiences in the military, his service far from home and connecting over their shared small-town roots.
For over 100 years, Big Red One soldiers have guarded America’s freedom and these brave men and women are proudly carrying on that mission.
