Pvt. 1st Class Mason Morgan of Pinckneyville, Illinois, smooths out asphalt along a trail on Camp Lincoln in Springfield. Morgan’s father once served in the Illinois Army National Guard 2118th Asphalt Detachment. “He served in this unit when I was young, and a lot of the NCOs I have now were privates when he was in,” said Morgan. “It makes it feel like a family. Him seeing me wear the uniform and follow in his footsteps makes our family very proud. I’m 18 years old and I feel that the 2118th will help me get on track to a good career, whether I decide to go to college or a trade school, the Illinois Army National Guard will help pay for my education.” (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
