Stories of the Guar😛 Defense of Kentucky I

By: Haliman

Everywhere I looked, devastation. Everywhere I went, death. Everywhere I rested, uncertainty. Everywhere I fought, destruction...



News had just come that Virginia’s defenses had fallen to the invading Spanish. That, coupled with our loss of Missouri and Oklahoma to the Mexicans had completely demoralized my regiment.

I had been part of the National Guard in charge of defending Kentucky. We knew that it was only a matter of time before the Spaniards began their siege. We had already lost contact with the border watch guards, as well as communication with the reinforcements we were promised. We were on our own.

”How long?”

I turned around to see Rick Von Ruger leaning against the wall.

”How long until what?” I replied.

”How long before I get to kick some Double-Spaniard ass out of my country?”

I smiled. Rick was always ready for battle. That’s the kind of morale we needed for the time ahead.

It was getting late, and my shift was almost up, when I saw them. Two Chinooks headed our way. They were carrying heavy cargo.



”Hey Rick, look at that!” As I pointed at the oncoming helicopters, one of them exploded. Almost instantly, I saw the oncoming hostiles.

”Incoming Tigres! We heard one guardsman yell. Rick and I had gotten to the roof of our nearby barracks. There were two older anti-aircraft guns at the top. ”Grab the AA on the other side!” He yelled. As I made my way over there, one of the aircraft got me in sight. It began to open fire. I jumped behind the AA gun for cover, only to hear a loud explosion. ”Tango down!” Rick yelled.



I got onto the gun, and started shooting everything I could see. There were too many of them...
