Tribute Wall recognizes Nevada Guard combat veterans

A tribute wall with the names of about 2,700 Nevada National Guard Soldiers and Airmen deployed into combat zones since the Gulf War was unveiled Friday at the Office of the Adjutant General in Carson City in conjunction with Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's proclamation designating April 17, 2015, as "Nevada National Guard Combat Veterans Remembrance Day."

"I had the privilege of going to Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait and saw the men and women of the Nevada National Guard in theater and it really gives you an appreciation of their service and sacrifice and what they do for us to make sure we can have our freedoms," Sandoval said. "It just makes you so proud. They go through a lot. They are separated from their families and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. That's what's so important about this memorial."
