There are some Wisconsin families keeping an extra-close eye on the situation in Ukraine.
The Wisconsin National Guard yesterday said 150 guardsmen are in Eastern Europe. The troops with the 107th Maintenance Company based in Sparta and Viroqua have been in Europe since May of last year. A guard spokesman says they were originally in Poland, Romania, and Lithuania, but have mostly all been called back to Poland. The troops are due to come home sometime this spring, but no one is saying just when.
