FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) — Gov. Nikki Haley and her family have bid a tearful farewell to her husband Michael as he leaves with a South Carolina National Guard unit for a month of training and then deployment to Afghanistan.

The look on their daughter's face says it all. May God speed him home.

I had no idea he was in the Guard. Lord, keep him safe.
