I hope that was 53 if Guardsmen were still dying in Korea, Jack.

34th Infantry Division (Red Bull), a National Guard outfit, had more days in combat in WWII than any other division.

Jack, if you haven't read it, I'm sure you'd enjoy "Bataan Uncensored" by a guy named Miller. Commanded the tank battalion, out of northern Minnesota, that covered the retreat onto the Bataan Peninsula. There were a significant number of Guard units activated a year or more before WWII started.
