News in brief BANGOR: GUARDSMEN BACK FROM GULF COAST

A group of 11 members from the Maine Air National Guard’s Security Forces Squadron returned on Tuesday night from a monthlong deployment in Mississippi. The men guarded a military training facility in coastal Gulfport, Miss., a city that was crippled with damage after Hurricane Katrina. At the Air National Guard’s Combat Readiness Training Center, the team patrolled the streets and tented villages that housed hundreds of military troops. (Jackie Farwell, BDN)
