As the D.C. Safe and Beautiful mission reaches its one-year milestone, Brig. Gen. Leland D. Blanchard II, Commanding General (Interim) of the District of Columbia National Guard, reflects on the Soldiers and Airmen who answered the call, the lives touched through their service and the lessons that shaped him as a leader. Beyond the statistics are people—and Guardsmen who stepped forward when someone needed help, partners who served alongside them, and communities that experienced the National Guard's commitment firsthand.
As the mission enters its next chapter, Brig. Gen. Blanchard reflects on what this year has meant, what made him most proud and what he hopes Americans remember about the National Guard's service in the nation's capital. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Master Sgt. Arthur M. Wright)
