CSM Retired Charles Benda and wife Carol recently returned from the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS) 45th Annual Conference held this year in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was the 43rd 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. As individual members and as the organization EANGUS works 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 and children 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 and Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Just as the National Guard is unique with its dual state and national role, so its citizen/soldiers are unique. That next door neighbor or doctor or mechanic or school teacher or forester may also be a soldier or airman who is deployed in war time or to respond to natural disasters.
