GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Tears and hugs mingled Wednesday morning, Dec. 10, as 12 members of the Army National Guards 321st Psychological Operations Unit departed for a tour of duty in eastern Africa. The group will strive to improve relations between residents in Horn of African countries and government officials and police there. The goal is to minimize conflict, said Capt. Jerry Peyton, who served in a tour of duty in Somalia with a similar mission in 2013. This group is headed first for Djibouti. They are expected back around the end of October 2015, but that could change depending on what evolves on the African peninsula while they are there. mlive/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2014/12/overseas_deployment_comes_just.html
