On April 21, 2009, the citizens of Dublin and Laurens County turned out by the thousands to say a special goodbye and good luck to the members of the local company of the Georgia National Guard.

The members of the guard company, minus 60 men and women who have already left for training, marched through the streets of downtown Dublin to the Farmers Market where they were greeted by Dublin mayor, Phil Best, Laurens County Commission Chairman, D.M. Mullis, State Rep. Dubose Porter, State Senator Ross Tolleson and the Rev. Jack Key.
