Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears commends Virginia National Guard

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears commended the Virginia National Guard for the organization’s service to commonwealth and country at a reception hosted Jan. 26, 2023, by the Virginia National Guard Association in Richmond, Virginia. Prior to the reception, Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chief of National Guard Tony L. Whitehead spoke during a leader development event hosted by Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia.

“I just wanted to thank you, and I don’t know you get thanked often enough,” Sears said. “We know you do so many things, and not just you, but also your families. If you are helping us, that means you are not at home with them.

”Sears said that often when there is a crisis, the question asked is “Did you call the National Guard?” She said it speaks volumes of the trust and faith the public has in the organization and its ability to provide help.

“We don’t take it lightly,” she said. “You are the ones who at a moment’s notice have to be ready to go. That’s an intense thing, and I don’t know what we would do without you.”
