Groundhog gets protection from National Guard
Troops will be deployed in a small Pennsylvania community in February to guard a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil. Each year Punxsutawney Phil attracts huge crowds of people who believe the animal can forecast the weather.
A team of state police, bomb-sniffing dogs and National Guard troops will be stationed near Gobbler’s Knob Feb. 2 to ward off problems at this year’s Groundhog Day festivities.
