LEPC members  - May 15 2008

For those that don't know it, one of the Ripley County Local Emergency Planning Committee hazmat group members is leaving Friday.

Robert Garcia, a Corporal with the Indiana State Police at the Versailles Post, has been called up for Iraq again. Bob said this is his second time in the sand over there, the first was in the 90's.

An emotional sendoff was given to him Tuesday at the LEPC meeting in Versailles. Bob has been an active member of the LEPC for several years representing the Law Enforcement branch, and will continue when he returns after a year of deployment.

Bob is married to Kelly, many will remember as a dispatcher at the Versailles post for some time.  In a strange twist for Kelly, her son was one of the 3400 soldiers that were deployed last week at the sendoff in Indianapolis last week, so two of that family will be gone overseas.

Bob added that Kevin Rohr, Deputy with the Decatur County Sheriff's Dept is leaving Friday as well. They are in the same unit. Bob says they are going to train police in Iraq and guard an air base.

Keep them in your thoughts.

(He said he "don't do that computer internet email stuff" but I'll bet someone teaches him in the next year!
