PFC 1 Abbie Jones, left, 2016 Kingfisher High School graduate, was among the more than 5,000 National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C., during President Joe Biden’s inauguration. A medic assigned to the Oklahoma Army National Guard’s 545 Brigade Engineer Battalion, Jones is going into the third year of her six-year enlistment. She spent two days patrolling around the U.S. Capitol, lugging a 45-pound full kit plus her 10 pound medic bag, which she said helped keep her warm in frigid temperatures. “It was humbling and definitely an honor to get to volunteer. Everyone held up to the standard and did their jobs really well.” With Jones are SPC Cody Simpson of Norman, center, and SPC Dale Courtney of Chickasha. (Photo via Facebook]
