South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said goodbye to her husband, Michael, on Thursday as he and members of his Army National Guard unit set off for a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.

Haley fought back tears at times as she and the couple’s 10-year-old son, Nalin, and 14-year-old daughter, Rena, and other family members watched a ceremony at the guard’s training facility at Fort Jackson. . .
