National Guard

Citizen/Soldiers who are under the command of both the president (federal) and the governor (state and local). These soldiers normally work and train together one weekend a month plus 2 weeks a year to be ready. National Guard Soldiers respond to local and state emergencies, and often give help and supplies to other states when they need it. They can also be deployed. These soldiers are heroes, like anyone else who wears a uniform. Always Ready. Always There.
