Several "Blanketeers" from the local chapter of Project Linus were on hand to distribute special blankets to the children of members of the 198th Bravo Unit of the National Guard Signal Battalion from the Hodges Armory during their deployment ceremony on April 6th. Over 128 children received special hand-made, "Hugs 4 Heroes" blankets that included a mini blanket of the same fabric, which the soldier-parent could keep with them in their uniform pocket while in Afghanistan.
