José, Adyn and Linda Valenzuela are preparing for José's second deployment with the Missouri National Guard. This mission will be a bit shorter, but much further away, as area guardsmen make two training stops and then head for Kosovo to take part in the NATO-led peacekeeping effort there. The Valenzuelas said the guard is providing more support for soldiers and families now, but the separation will still be difficult for them. (Eric Crump/Democrat-News)
