    A person wearing US Army camouflage (OCP/MultiCam) uniform is holding two military medals in their open palm. The medals include a Distinguished Service Cross (or similar cross-shaped medal) with a red, white, and blue ribbon, and a Purple Heart medal with a purple and white ribbon inscribed 'FOR MILITARY MERIT' with the name 'EARL F. McGUIRE' engraved on it. Both medals appear aged and worn, suggesting they are historical artifacts.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
