Holden will soon call National Guards to Airports

Although no specifics are determined, Governor Holden says National Guardsmen may be called on to secure airports.

National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Bill Ratcliff says it is too early to say how many guards will be needed...

Holden estimates about one-hundred and fifty.

But Radcliff does say they will recruit volunteers.

Holden says there are eight airports in Missouri that will be protected by the National Guards.

It is not certain yet, but the state officials think that the guards will be armed.

Holden hopes that more will determined over the weekend.
