Independence Day message from the Adjutant General of Wisconsin


On Wednesday, we celebrate the 236th anniversary of our nation's Declaration of Independence. An extraordinary confluence of events led our forbearers to tell the most powerful king on earth that we were, and of right ought to be, free and independent states. They then called on our militia and our newly formed Army, Navy and Marine Corps - who, under the leadership of George Washington, backed up our declaration and established our republic. What a gift. What a legacy. What a heritage.

We are the National Guard - we were there in 1776 and we remain today - always ready and always there. May God continue to bless our nation and the people we are privileged to serve.

Sincerely,

 Donald P. Dunbar
 Major General
 Wisconsin National Guard
 The Adjutant General
