Soldiers serving with the 112th Cavalry Regiment, Texas National Guard, rest at the First Baptist Church in Port Neches, Texas, Sept. 8, after a days work at several point of distribution stations. Since Hurricane Harvey carved it's destructive path through Texas, several Texas NG units were given room and board at the church for the duration of their efforts to get essential supplies to storm victims. Other civilian volunteers out of Louisiana from the Cajun Army came also and used the church's facilities, demonstrating the joint nature of the relief effort.
"The people of the First Baptist Church as well as the entire Port Neches community have been more than hospitable and generous," said 2nd Lt. Daniel Miller, a cavalry scout serving with the 112th. "The ability to have a comfortable place to wind down after working all day was great for morale." (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by 1st Sgt. Brock Jones, 128th MPAD)
