Sgt. Francisco Raatz, of the 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, of the North Dakota Army National Guard, lays in bed at Sanford Hospital, Fargo, N.D., Sept. 29, as his mother Terry Raatz looks over him. He is recovering after donating one of his kidneys to fellow National Guard member Spc. John Chase. The soldiers have served together in the National Guard for several years, including two deployments to Afghanistan, most recently in 2010. Chase returned home early from that deployment when both of his kidneys were failing.
