???Meet Penny: The Michigan Army National Guard’s newest member?? Her mission? To bring comfort, connection, and “pawsitivity” to soldiers. “Penny’s job is to brighten people’s day, and she does it phenomenally,” said Chaplain Lavigne. Penny, a black Labrador trained as a service animal through the Puppies Behind Bars program, now works alongside Chaplain Adam Lavigne of the 177th Military Police Brigade Unit Ministry Team. Penny’s impact speaks for itself: ?? “Sometimes, when someone’s had a rough day, she’ll curl up on their lap, offering comfort in a way words can’t,” Lavigne shared. Therapy dogs like Penny bridge the gap, helping soldiers find moments of peace and connection when they need it most.

关于我们
This is the Michigan National Guard official LinkedIn page. Here, we share recent news coverage, videos, and photos highlighting Soldiers and Airmen proudly serving our communities, state, and country. The page is produced and maintained by the Michigan National Guard Joint Force Headquarters Public Affairs Office located in Lansing, Michigan. The National Guard’s federal mission is to provide properly maintained and equipped units available for prompt mobilization for war, national emergency, or as otherwise needed. Our state mission is to provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise required by state law. The National Guard is a community-based force with many members working and serving where they live. The force operates under the command of the Adjutant General of Michigan and the Michigan Governor as Commander-in-Chief. We recognize December 13th as the birthday of the U.S. National Guard. On this date in 1636, the first militia regiments in North America were organized in Massachusetts. The history of the Michigan National Guard is one of long and honorable service that predates the state itself. As one of Michigan's first settlements, Detroit is looked upon as the birthplace of the early Michigan Militia. The first indication of an effort to organize a militia is the reference in the Cadillac Papers of a proposal made by Sr. de LaMothe. His proposal, dated November 13, 1708, called for forming four companies to act as a militia for the colony. The First Regiment of Michigan Militia, the Detroit City Guards, and a company of mounted volunteers (dragoons) made up the earliest Michigan units and were barracked in Detroit. To this day, the Michigan Army National Guard Armory on 8 Mile Road in Detroit is called the “Light Guard” armory in honor of its history. The Michigan Militia, then later, the Michigan National Guard, has participated in every major U.S. and state campaigns.

Joining the Army is tough; you’re immediately off to basic and individual training, facing drill sergeants, and learning the basics of soldiering. Going straight to Ranger School after that? That’s an entirely new level of challenge and excellence. Pfc. Chase Cammenga achieved this milestone, graduating from all three rigorous training programs.

Today, we honor the bravery, sacrifice and unwavering spirit of the Soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. #DDay80
80 years ago, allied troops stormed Normandy's beaches. Their bravery liberated France, turning the tide of the war in Europe. Victory came at a price: thousands lost, wounded, or missing. Today, we honor the Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who fought for freedom in Operation Overlord.
