EANGUS Auxiliary member Carol Benda and Command Sergeant Major (R) Chuck Benda from Slayton recently returned from the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS) 47th Annual Conference held the year in Charleston, West Virginia. It was the 45th Annual Conference for the Auxiliary.
EANGUS is the premier organization that advocates on behalf of the enlisted men and women of the National Guard and its members’ families. Individual members and the organization, EANGUS, work tirelessly on legislation that would provide needed equipment and benefits for National Guard members and families. EANGUS and its Auxiliary enrich the quality of life for its members by providing scholarships for members, children of the auxiliary and grandchildren of members. EANGUS represents National Guard members and families in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the American territories, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Just as the National Guard is unique with it dual state and national role, so its citizen/soldiers are unique. The next door neighbor or doctor or mechanic or school teacher or forester may also be a soldier or airman who is deployed in wartime or to respond to natural disasters.
