Remember the Past.
Stand up for Tomorrow.
EANGUS works to improve and protect the benefits of the men and women serving in the National Guard and their families.
9/11 was a watershed moment for the National Guard. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, thrust the Guard into a new era of homeland defense and overseas warfighting. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the Guard mobilized more than 50,000 troops to provide security at airports, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. Guard units also assisted with search and rescue operations at Ground Zero in New York City and the Pentagon.
In the years since 9/11, the Guard has played a vital role in the War on Terror. Guard units have deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries in the Middle East. They have also supported homeland defense missions, such as Operation Noble Eagle, which involved the deployment of fighter jets to patrol American airspace. The National Guard has also been involved in a number of other domestic missions since 9/11. Guard units have responded to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy. They have also provided security at major events, such as the Super Bowl and the Olympics.
9/11 changed the National Guard in many ways. The Guard is now a more visible and active part of American life. It is also a more versatile force, capable of responding to a wide range of threats. The Guard’s role in the War on Terror and other homeland defense missions will likely continue for many years. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.” said George S. Patton.
