2022 Commemorative Ornament Now Available NGAUS
The National Guard Educational Foundation’s Annual Commemorative Ornament is now available.
Following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, Europe entered a time of uncertainty as new democracies emerged. The National Guard Bureau saw an opportunity to leverage the skills and versatility of citizen-soldiers and airmen at the grassroots level to maintain stability in the region.
The Guard’s dual federal and state missions made it ideal to demonstrate effective democratic institutions, pursue humanitarian assistance and develop crisis management mechanisms across institutions. This idea formed the basis of the State Partnership Program, which officially established its first partnerships on April 27, 1993.
On this ornament are the national flags of the 13 partner countries that joined the program in 1993 and are still active today. They represent the partnerships of Maryland and Estonia; Michigan and Latvia; Pennsylvania and Lithuania; Tennessee and Bulgaria; Texas/Nebraska and the Czech Republic; Ohio and Hungary; Vermont and North Macedonia; Illinois and Poland; Alabama and Romania; Indiana and Slovakia; Colorado and Slovenia; Arizona and Kazakhstan; and California and Ukraine.
Now available online at www.ngef.org.

October 27th — Today in Guard History National Guard
1741
Beverley’s Mill Place (today Staunton), Virginia – The Augusta County Regiment was organized on this date. Men from this regiment would fight under Lieutenant Colonel George Washington during the French and Indian War (1755-1763); again under Washington during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783); and under General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson during the Civil War, where the regiment earned the nickname “Stonewall Brigade” it still carries today. Its descendant unit, the 116th Infantry, became part of the 29th Infantry Division in 1917 and saw heavy fighting with it in both world wars, including leading the assault wave on Omaha Beach on D-Day. In the War on Terror different battalions of the 116th Infantry, still part of the 29th Division, have served on missions ranging from guarding the perimeter (but not the prisoners) of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba to teaching soldier skills and combat tactics to the members of the newly organized Afghan army.
