American Patriot Award2014 American Patriot Award
National Guard

The National Defense University Foundation honors the men and women of the National Guard with the 2014 American Patriot Award because of their extraordinary dedication to ensuring the safety and security of people around the world. They leave their families and civilian lives, often at short notice, to protect those facing conflict, natural disasters or national emergencies.

The National Guard is America's oldest military component with a lineage reaching back to its first muster in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. Today, the National Guard comprises over 354,000 Army National Guard soldiers and 106,000 Air National Guard airmen whose predecessors have fought in every major American conflict from the Revolution to the War on Terrorism.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 800 Guardsmen have made the ultimate sacrifice as the nation has increasingly relied upon their service in conflicts abroad. Daily, they guard our vital infrastructure and, in moments of crisis, they are ready to protect us. They rescued over 17,000 people during the hurricanes of 2005. They come to the aid of their neighbors following tornadoes, during floods and in the wake of snowstorms.

The National Guard's mission expands into the cyber domain as they lead the way in cyber defense, protection and warfare. Guard members also partner with militaries around the world from over 65 countries in training and peace-building missions, serving with our allies in places as diverse as Jordan, Ukraine and Guatemala.
