South Mississippi Genealogical and Historical Society Genealogy Library

Dr.
Andrew Wiest, Distinguished Professor of History at the University of
Southern Mississippi will present the program. Dr.
Wiest is an award-winning historian and author. He will be speaking
on his new book Dogwood:
A National Guard Unit’s War in Iraq.
 The book and talk chronicle the deployment of Mississippi’s
National Guard to Iraq in 2005, focusing on the 150th
Combat
Engineers. The 150th
faced
an uncertain war against long odds in 2005 while occupying the last
rung of the American logistical chain. Against all odds, the
Mississippians succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations, but paid a
heavy price. Sadly, though, as the war dragged on, the brave
contributions of the Mississippians were forgotten.
