The citizens of Whitley County lined US 30 Wednesday morning to honor members of the 293rd Infantry Battalion enroute from Warsaw to receive further training in preparation for the deployment to the War on Terrorism. Waving flags and holding ribbons, eyes welled with tears as the busloads of soldiers passed through Columbia City around 8 a.m. Through the bus windows, the soldiers could be seen waving and smiling. Small groups gathered at various points along US 30. Several points along the way featured signs, flags and other encouragement, including utility trucks with banners at REMC in Park 30 near Coesse.
