Missouri National guard returns from Louisiana

The Missouri National Guard is back from Louisiana.

But as Dustin Blanchard tells us, it might not be for long.

Guardsmen arrived back at armories across the state.

It took them two days to get here -- after they evacuated in the wake of Rita.

The soldiers hope they will get a few days off.

But Lieutenant Colonel David Harrell says they could be back on the road soon.

Harrell says the mission in Louisiana was a success -- and the soldiers are ready for whatever comes next.

With the Guard in Fulton, I'm Dustin Blanchard.
