🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the National Guard Birthday, a day to honor the brave men and women who serve our nation in times of peace and crisis. On December 13th, 1636, the Massachusetts General Court laid the foundation for what would become the oldest component of the United States Armed Forces. For over 384 years, the National Guard has been a pillar of strength, providing vital support to our communities and defending our freedoms. From responding to natural disasters to aiding in humanitarian missions, their dedication and selflessness are truly commendable. #NationalGuard #GuardiansOfFreedom #ThankYouForYourService #ProudToServe
