TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) - The Georgia Army National Guard says members
of the 108th Cavalry will begin a march from Toccoa to Atlanta
early Wednesday to commemorate a trek made during World War II.

In 1942, members of the Army's 101st Airborne Division made a
118-mile march from Toccoa to Atlanta before heading to Columbus to
begin parachute training.

The Guard unit plans to begin its march at the armory in Toccoa
and arrive two days later at Oglethorpe University.

Members of the unit will take part in the Atlanta Veterans Day parade scheduled for Saturday.
