Associated Press Military families adjust holiday plans By The Associated Press Support groups helping families of Wisconsin soldiers serving in Iraq deal with the separation are making plans for the holidays that include parties, dinners and even a float in a Christmas parade. Families and children of some soldiers from northern Wisconsin will ride on a float "Christmas in Iraq" during the upcoming Christmas parade in Ashland, said Sue Garz, family support coordinator for the National Guard's 106th quarry team headquartered in Ashland. The unit has 11 of its 54 members on duty in Iraq.

Other members of the unit will provide a color guard for the parade, she said. "Everybody seems to be adjusting. It has been a real big adjustment," Garz said. The Wisconsin National Guard has 1,530 members on active duty. Of those, 950 are deployed overseas, Guard spokesman Lt.

Col. Tom Donovan said. The Guard has a total of 9,900 members in Wisconsin. Across Wisconsin, various groups have been established to help families cope with loved ones being gone to war. Immediately after the fighting began, The Highground, a veterans park near Neillsville, hosted a Circle of Support each week for veterans and families of those serving in the war.

"Normally around here on Christmas, our clubs are closed, but they will be open," she said. "I am sure because we will have that many troops, each of the mess halls that will be open will provide special meals for Christmas."

They are doing good work over there and proud of what they are doing." She has given up one family Christmas tradition going out and cutting a fresh tree.

Instead, she went to Goodwill and purchased a used artificial tree. "We used to be ones who donated to Goodwill and not bought things there. Those are the things that are kind of hard. You do what you can," the wife of the soldier said.
