The Alabama National Guard in Phenix City- a high watermark
Article Abstract:
The Alabama National Guard has participated in every significant military action undertaken by the US since the War of 1812, but its distinguished efforts were in the battle for Phenix City in 1954 in Alabama. Phenix City, that cesspool of decadence, where gamblers, vice lords and thugs, protected by corrupt local officials exploit human weaknesses was tamed by Alabama National Guard by searching, seizing and arresting the wrongdoers of all persuasions, from the mayor on down.
