(Washington D.C.) – Over 100 Wyoming National Guard members helped assure the safety of the 2021 Presidential Inauguration Wednesday.

In a moment that perhaps only a true Wyoming could realize, the Guardsmen can be heard on PBS News Hour with a famous Wyoming cheer…

Was wonderful to have the @WyoGuard at the U.S Capitol today. They even had a special cameo on PBS @NewsHour tonight. We’re so thankful for their service today and every day. #PresidentialInauguration #powderriverleterbuck pic.twitter.com/KxpPPDOn4U— Sen. John Barrasso (@SenJohnBarrasso) January 21, 2021
