Welcome to the National Guard Association of Michigan
The National Guard Association of Michigan (NGAM) exists to advance the interests of the Michigan National Guard. Formed in 1956, NGAM has a 60-year tradition of providing services to its members and support for their families. In 1962, we were incorporated as a 501(c)19 non-profit veterans' organization.
NGAM has committed to being a part of the solution to end Veterans Suicide. The 54 by 24: Service Dogs Save Lives campaign works to sponsor one medical service dog per state by the 2024 Motor City National Conferences. Service dogs play a major part in healing and helping veterans. Suicide rates are drastically reduced when Veterans are matched with a medical service dog, some organizations even eliminate suicide all together.
