"...Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest


We are  poor little lambs who have lost our way
Baa, baa, baa...

We are little black sheep who have gone astray
Baa, baa, baa...

Gentleman songsters off on a spree
Doomed from here to eternity
Lord have mercy on such as we
Baa, baa, baa."

Brian Webster's Biography

Our organization does not practice or condone any of the ideals of National Socialism, nor do we support the agendas of any past or contemporary racist organizations.​

Unit founder, Colonel Brian L.  Webster departed this world on June 21, 2010 after a valiant battle with kidney cancer.

Brian was born in Minneapolis, MN.  At age 16, Brian won the Grand Champion of the National Model Airplane Championships of 1970.  He graduated in 1979 with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from The University of Tennessee.  

Brian’s dream was to be a pilot and he joined the Air Force in 1980 where he flew F-15 fighters.  He served six years in the Air Force and continued his military career in the Air National Guard flying F-16s, for a total of 27 years.  He served as Squadron Commander of the 119th Fighter Group in 2001 and played a key role in protecting US airspace post 9/11.  His Guard career culminated with the distinguished Legion of Merit Award for outstanding service as the Wing Commander of the 177th Fighter Wing, Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.  He retired from military service in June 2007.  As a traditional guardsman, he also flew 23 years for American Airlines and was a 767 International Captain.

Brian’s passions were Civil War and World War II history, college football (Tennessee Volunteers and Penn State) and vegetable gardening.  Brian’s legacy is all those that he helped during his life, and the positive and compassionate impact he had on all those that crossed his path. He was humble, quick to laugh and saw the good in everyone.  He leaves behind many friends that will feel the void for a long time
