AUSTIN (AP) After missing eight months of birthdays, anniversaries, births and deaths, 760 soldiers in the National Guard 49th Armored Division were recognized Saturday for helping keep the peace in war-torn Bosnia. The Texas troops and their families attended the party at Camp Mabry. The 49th, the first guard unit since the Korean War to lead active duty troops overseas, returned from their mission in October. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, who visited Bosnia during Easter, was among the dignitaries in attendance.
