In his address, Libby said Congress has been “generous” in its support of the Maine National Guard, that governors he’s served under have been attentive to the needs of the Guard and its members and that legislative support has been “exceptional.”
But he said the future role of the National Guard and reserves is in question. He said there “may be a limit on what we can do.”
