Jordan – Six Soldiers with Area Support Group Jordan, 143rd Regional Support Group (RSG) from the Connecticut Army National Guard, sat down for lunch with Senator Chris Murphy, representing Connecticut, at the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan on 5 May. Sen. Murphy visited Jordan and the surrounding area for meetings with foreign leaders and senior officials.
Sen. Murphy took time out of his busy schedule of meetings and visits to enjoy lunch with Soldiers from his home state. The lunch included an opportunity for Soldiers to connect with Sen. Murphy, to hear their thoughts on their mission here in Jordan.
For one of the Soldiers, Staff Sgt. Jason Cruz, supply NCO for the 143rd RSG, this would be his third time meeting Sen. Murphy while on mission outside of the United States.
“It was an honor and a privilege to meet Sen. Murphy,” said Staff Sgt. Cruz. “What a small world to be able to meet on three different occasions in three different countries.”
Staff Sgt. Cruz met with Sen. Murphy while deployed to Iraq in 2007 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Kuwait in 2013 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
