Short Description of Recipient Organization:
Florida has the oldest militia tradition of any state in the continental United States. From the Panhandle to the Keys, the state’s military history is a long and proud tradition that extends from the first Spanish settlers to today’s modern Florida National Guard.
More than 440 years ago a small contingent of Spanish soldiers and civilian settlers gathered on the banks of a wild, sub-tropical inlet in Florida with the intent of defending their newly founded settlement of St. Augustine. This group of about 50 civilian-soldiers formed a militia that is considered the historical “roots†of the Florida National Guard.
That tradition has been extensively documented and today the online Florida National Guard Heritage Center is one way to explore Florida’s military past. This online resource includes cultural tours of Camp Blanding and St. Augustine, paintings and historical briefings, and video clips of recent National Guard activities. Please visit the Heritage Center at by clicking on the Heritage Center button to the left.
