I'm all for the Guard, and I know other branches celebrate their birthdays back to predecessor organizations like the Colonial Marines, but in reality the National Guard did not come into being until 1903.

We used to say that the Army and Navy have traditions while the Air Force has habits. The Guard does indeed have a longer history and a proud one.

The guard likes to claim that they are the militia as in the 2nd amendment. There was a brochure released by the Military Order of World Wars claiming that the guard is the only form of constitutional militia. In reality they are a federal reserve, all ties to individual states are superficial.
