The Missouri National Guard has released its ninth episode for Season 3 of "MO Guard TV", a half-hour television program showcasing the efforts of Citizen-Soldiers, Airmen and family members throughout the Show-Me State.

In this episode Missouri National Guardsmen support Memorial Day celebrations in Kansas City during the annual "Celebration at the Station" event along with a ruck march and ceremony at the WW I Museum and Memorial. We also feature three stories about the annual training of an Infantry Regiment, Support Battalions, and a Bomb Wing.

The program, which has a news magazine flair, was developed by Maj. Gen. Steve Danner, the Missouri National Guard Adjutant General. His goal for the program is to give the public deeper insight into the National Guard's role at home and abroad.
