As part of Florida Living History, Inc.’s (FLH’s) 2015 “St. Augustine’s 450th Anniversary” commemorations and in conjunction with National Hispanic Heritage Month, FLH’s volunteers - in partnership with the Florida National Guard and Florida Department of Military Affairs - will honor the 450th anniversary of the first mustering of America’s original citizen-soldiers and the 450th “birthday” of Florida’s National Guard. The first muster of militia troops in the continental United States took place on September 16, 1565, in the newly established Spanish presidio of San Agustín de la Florida (present-day St. Augustine, FL).
