Happy 375th Birthday to the National Guard

Post by Bill_Wolf »

Happy 375th Birthday to the National Guard! "Always Ready, Always there". Thank you Citizen Soldiers for your service!

"The military organization we know today as the National Guard came into existence with a direct declaration on December 13, 1636. On this date, the Massachusetts General Court in Salem, for the first time in the history of the North American continent, established that all able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 60 were required to join the militia." The North, South, and East Regiments were established with this order. The decree excluded ministers and judges. Simply stated, citizen-soldiers who mustered for military training could be and would be called upon to fight when needed.
