The Beeline, the official podcast of the West Virginia National Guard, chronicles the efforts of the Soldiers, Airmen, and Civilian employees that live work and defend or communities, state, and nation. In 1775, General George Washington issued a call for “Virginia Volunteer Riflemen.” Gathering Continental troops in preparation for the Revolutionary War, General Washington called upon the men of the mountains stating, “Let me plant my banner in West Augusta (West Virginia) and I will surround it with fighting men who will drive the invaders from our lands.” Captain Hugh Stephenson filled the ranks of his company in Shepherdstown. On 16 July 1775, Captain Stephenson, along with his company of mountaineers, departed Morgan Springs. The company accomplished the famous 600-mile “Beeline March to Cambridge” in just twenty-four days. Captain Stephenson’s Company of Virginia Riflemen became part of the First Virginia Regiment, American Continental Troops. On 14 June 1775. “The American Continental Army” was formed. Of the companies that formed the Army that day, only the 1st Battalion, 201st FA, WVARNG remains active.

    Connective, collaborative, CREATIVE... Our Own WVNG!
    As we have come to expect from our own West Virginia National Guard, this informative, emotionally reverberant content, has come at just a time when we the people of West Virginia need it most. To hear encouraging stories from front line workers, and the Men & Women of the WV National Guard, captured in this newly launched, rich podcast, is a breath of fresh air. Particularly, to highlight the Guard’s work as a coordinating entity —collaborative, connective, and creative— and to see this work displayed in the very format and delivery of programming, is an inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for giving back by sharing in the challenges, opportunities, outcomes and endeavors of our own West Virginia National Guard!
