National Guard on the Border?

Just received a phone call from Ken H., local MM in Campo. He is set
up with a quarter moon rising over his position on a hill overlooking
Tecate, Mexico, west of Ridgerunner's position on the Campo Line. He
saw Kingfish coming in, back to his position, a few minutes ago. He
said that NO NATIONAL GUARD are to be seen ANYWHERE in the CAMPO area.
Gadget Dan also said in an interview on the Rodger Hedgecock show last
weekend that NO Guardsmen were to be found at Campo.

More postings as they become history,

Gadget went on a road trip...no national guard from Tecate to Jacumba.

AZ:
Near Douglas, Az.
While in my motel and it's restaurant I
was surprised to see, and talk to, several National Guardsmen (12-15
of them) who were enroute to the Border near Ajo, Az.! I asked one
of them if he could tell me exactly what his orders were, if he
could. He said," To help the Border Patrol any way possible! Good
news, no? Well,after spending several days here in Mc Neal, Az., I
was in Douglas today eating lunch at the famous Gadsden Hotel. I
couldn't believe my eyes! National Guardsmen from THREE different
states were there to guard the Border. The states of Texas,
Kentucky, and Wisconsin have troops being quartered in the Gadsden,
and pulling duty nearby on the Az.-Mex Border. You people from those
states can be proud of these young guardsmen, for sure. I even saw
one female soldier amongst them... Some were just coming in from
patrol, and were just coming downstairs from getting their showers.
One was limping from a blister he'd gotten, so I know
they're "pounding some Az. ground" while on duty. I was able to talk
to a few of them, and they seemed genuinely interesred in picking up
a few pointers from one of the old Minutemen. All of them had heard
of the Minutemen, for sure. One of them even said that the MM were
the reason that they got to come to the Border, because of all the
fuss we were making over the Border being open!
