National Guard is rolling into my town

My daughter-in-law just called to tell me they are passing several National Guard trucks, big and small and along with tanker truck. They just dropped me off and were heading home on Rt. 72.

There is to be a protest tonight. We saw that the county Courthouse was being totally fenced off with what we call around here, snow fence. We are close to Fort Indiantown Gap where a lot of the Guard trains.

I live in PA about 10 to 12 miles east of Hershey. We are just a small town that is red as can be.

Hope everybody stays safe as we are still in the yellow phase of reopening.
