From the Guard's early incarnations as social clubs or lodges, where members dressed in uniform, paraded, and held dances, through its gritty service in the Philippines and beyond, Cooper shows how membership in the Guard and later in the Air National Guard helped forge bonds of local, regional, and national identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Cooper, Glenn Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803264496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803264496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.97d","brand":"Jerry Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926190424319,"sku":"9780803264496","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b1757ab8-aabc-49f8-960f-76d3047d8f44.jpg?v=1681081703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citizens-as-soldiers-jerry-cooper-9780803264496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
