What has become the National Guard was orinally the state militia elements untill WW2. Several States still have Official State Militia's. Texas is one of them and I am proud to say I served 5 years with the Organization and left after I finished Hurricane Katrina duty, operating evacuation shelters. Furthermore, the age of the Federal Militia's is 50 years of age, not 45, though I feel it should be as long as you can fight or defend. 2 Reply Marauder, Spring TX 1/19/10 re: Benjamin Franklin quote The Revolution is under attack from those who would place us back in Tyranny. They are counter-revolutionary in Nature and will bring back the same Yokes, that were used to bind Us, under the King. SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
