The House and Senate this week approved House Concurrent Resolution 97, paying tribute to the National Guard Association of Delaware.

The 501(c)(19) nonprofit organization advocates for improved training, equipment, and benefits for Delaware Guardsmen and their families.

State Rep. Jeff Hilovsky (R-Long Neck, Oak Orchard) sponsored the bipartisan legislation.

The Delaware Army National Guard can trace its origins to August 31, 1655, when Swedish settlers took up arms to defend Fort Christina against a Dutch attack, making it one of the oldest military organizations in the country.

The Delaware National Guard consists of approximately 1,650 Army Guard Soldiers and 1,160 Air Guard Airmen. The federal government can mobilize its personnel in times of war and during national emergencies. The governor can call on the Guard to protect the lives and property of Delawareans, preserve the peace, and provide emergency relief support.
