Operation Sovereignty-A Complete Success

This year our April muster ran seventeen days, starting April 4th and ending April 20th.  This was part of an experiment, this year, of running more musters but shortening our traditional long musters (April and October). So far this looks like a promising strategy but we will wait until the end of the year to evaluate the results of this approach. The opening ceremony took place on the 5th.  Al Garza, National Executive Director of the MCDC was the featured speaker. Al ‘s topic was “The MCDC; Past, Present and Future”. Phyllis Gross gave the invocation and Maryjean Trosper followed with an Italian dinner that fortified the volunteers for the evening’s work. Many minutemen and women commented on the very delicious spaghetti and meatball meal that came with side salad and garlic bread. They were very appreciative of the brownie dessert as well. Al Garza –National Executive Director   No muster write up is complete without metrics. We had 136 volunteers from 23 states (Alaska being the furthest), and trained 20 new volunteers.

February 2008 Muster Results

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps February 2008 muster: The Invasion Continues. Braving near freezing temperatures, 60 volunteers of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps spent 56 hours last weekend manning observation posts in various locations in the Altar Valley area of Arizona. Our well-trained search and rescue volunteers assisted Border Patrol and BORSTAR, making three life-saving rescues of suspected illegal aliens. On Thursday night as volunteers began arriving early for the weekend operation, after setting up their travel trailer two Minuteman Civil Defense Corps volunteers answered a knock at their door only to find a young married couple, both from Mexico City, who told the volunteers they had been left in the desert by their coyote. The couple had been lost and without food for eight days. The young woman, aged 22, was in tears as the volunteers provided them cookies and coffee even offering a warm jacket for the young woman who was in the early stages of hypothermia. Border Patrol was called and later arrived to take the couple into custody. The husband-and-wife, who were both illegal aliens praised and thanked the Minuteman volunteers for ... Read more...
