National Guardsmen stationed at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, honor 373 years of lineage with speeches and presentations about the corps Dec. 5 at their base community center. Brig. Gen. Mark MacCarley, 1st Theater Sustainment Command deputy commanding general, spoke to the attending troops about his grandfather, who served in the National Guard as the first sergeant of Pershing's Headquarters Company, American Rainbow Division, 1917-1918, during the Great War. "He said it was the most important thing he had done in his lifetime," the Reservist officer said while holding up his grandfather's nearly hundred year old journal. "Like [him] and all of you, I am proud to be a citizen Soldier." The National Guard organized its first muster Dec. 13, 1636, in Salem, Mass.
