The National Guard first came into existence on Dec. 13, 1636, in Massachusetts. Every year, the nation celebrates the birth of this state-based military force and all the good work it does. It is composed of everyday people, most of whom hold down full-time, civilian jobs. Members of the national work one weekend every month. In addition, they dedicate two full weeks each year for the National Guard. They can also be deployed in times of emergencies or natural disasters to provide assistance and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
