Abstract "Always ready, always there" is the official motto of the United States National Guard. This military branch is presented through the eyes of a child whose cousin upholds that motto every day as a member of this reserve military force. Readers get an in-depth look at what it's like to have a family member in the military. The text also explores the history of this branch, its modern-day operations, and its members' unique lifestyle.
