Illinois Deploys National Guard Troops

So as many of you have heard already, Illinois is one of the states affected by flooding caused by the rising waters of the Mississippi River. As a result, more than 500 Illinois National Guard soldiers and airmen have been deployed in the western part of the state to help buildup and reinforce levees that are threatened by the rising waters. Take a wild guess on who will be out there bagging sand? Yes, it's none other than our beloved Brian! He will be reporting into Lui5.com with exclusive pictures, news, and comments on the flooding crisis so stay tuned!
