The late Russ Fero of Whitewater was a member of the National Guard and donated a number of photos of National Guard summer camp activities, including this view. According to a report on the Camp Ripley deployment, the Whitewater guardsmen were named the best group in their regiment (the 127th) and the 127th regiment was named the best group of the camp. Quite an honor for Whitewater men!
