    BETHANY BEACH REGIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE, Delaware -- Over 40 guardsmen participate in the annual Delaware National Guard Signing Day at the Bethany Beach Regional Training Institute, May 1, 2021. This event is in support of the class of 2021 high school seniors that are joining the Delaware National Guard right after graduation.

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual Signing Day for the Delaware National Guardsmen recruits and their families had been cancelled in 2020.

    “Other high school seniors get the opportunity to have a signing day with their colleges. We would like to give that to our recruits who have decided to accept the call,” Lt. Col. Jaime Wolhar, the commander of Delaware Army National Guard’s Recruiting and Retention, said. “We in the Delaware National Guard are family. We not only take care of our soldiers but we take care of our family.”

    This year the Delaware National Guard leadership is happy to be able to hold this event in order to commend the future soldiers for their commitment to the National Guard.

    “”I certainly wish you all the best of luck and I congratulate you on your decision to join our Delaware Army National Guard family.” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Michael Berry, adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard.
