North Carolina National Guard delivers PPE to school nurses USArmy 

CENTRAL, N.C. – The North Carolina National Guard helped distribute personal protective equipment (PPE) for school nurses in public and charter schools throughout the state June 29-30.

The NCNG is working with North Carolina Emergency Management, N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and local food banks to help support COVID-19 relief efforts.

As schools plan to reopen in the fall, the NCNG is working to ensure schools have the necessary medical supplies to help protect students from COVID-19.

For the first time since COVID-19 began, the NCNG is distributing PPE to all public and charter schools in North Carolina.

With the PPE supplies, “the teachers and students going to school are going to be able to stay safe and not get sick,” said North Carolina Army National Guard Spc. Dillon Pressley, assigned to the 1451st Transportation Company.

July 9th — Today in Guard History National Guard 

1755
Virginia Frontier near Monongahela River, Pennsylvania – In an area south of present day Pittsburgh, PA, British General Edward Braddock is shot and later dies when a column of soldiers he is leading is ambushed by French soldiers and their Indians allies. Braddock was sent from England to command a combined task force numbering about 2,000 men composed of British Regulars and colonial troops. His army was to march to Fort Duquesne (today Pittsburgh) and force the French to surrender it to British control. Accompanying him as an advisor was Lieutenant Colonel George Washington of the Virginia militia. After Braddock and about a third of his force was killed, Washington assumed command. Showing great skill he withdrew the balance of the force with little additional loss. His actions brought him great renown in the other colonies and helped formulate a ‘national’ recognition of his abilities as a military leader which would later lead to his appointment as Commander-in-Chief ofthe Continental Army during the Revolution.
