National Guard for the past year. On the right is Robert Braden Jr. and his father, Robert, who were waiting for Mark Braden. They are from Woonsocket. Burmeister, Braden and six other members of the Rhode Island Army National Guard's 65th Press Camp returned to Quonset National Guard Base today following a one-year deployment, including 10 months in Iraq.
