That’s all that can be found about the history of the Wyoming National Guard.
That is, until we decided to Tell Our Story because Wyoming is one of only a few states without a complete National Guard History.
The Wyoming Military Department, Wyoming National Guard Association, and Wyoming National Guard Historical Society
have a clear vision to publish two book volumes starting with our origins in the 1860s.
Our fundraising goal of $150,000 for 1,000 copies of each volume will cover printing and delivery to Cheyenne.
But we simply cannot go forward in Telling Our Story without your help. Please donate today!
Bits and pieces - here and there -
some information true,
some questionable.

Launch Party

Leading the festivities were the fundraising co-chairs, Lt. Gen (Ret.) Ed Wright, former adjutant general, and Col. (Ret.) Rita Meyer, former state auditor.
The Wyoming National Guard Historical Society, a nonprofit 501(3)(c) organization, accepted the contributions.
