The National Guard only PREDATES the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America by a hair over 140 years, don'cha know...
...and there's four Guard units in Massachusetts - two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and an engineer battalion - who are direct descendants of that first Colonial muster in 1636.
HAPPY 375th BIRTHDAY, GUARDSMEN!
Defending Americans since BEFORE there was an America.
