Talk:Governor's Guards (Florida)

Article needs

For a better rating, I would like to see a clarification of the article name with in the lede. Civilians have no clue of what 1-153 Cav menas. Florida National Guard, the root of this unit, is not mentioned until much later. And this article may need to be renamed to better fit the Wiki format on military unit articles. I will ask someone else to look at that. All in all a good start with potential! Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Images

In accordance with WP:Gallery, I've removed most of the images galleries and created categories including these images on wikicommons and provided a link in this article. Probably need to do this for the remaining galleries. I expect it would make sense to restore a very small number of images keeping in mind WP:PERTINENCE. Ocalafla (talk) 14:51, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Merge

This article is below the threshold set by WP:MILUNIT. Company and below level sub-units are unlikely to be notable in their own right, almost always it is the parent battalion or regiment that is in fact notable. The sources for this article are generally not secondary or independent of the subject. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:05, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Do Not Merge - What is now Troop C, 1-153 Cavalry has been historically "Governor's Guards". The Governor's Guards has its own certificate of lineage and honors form the Center for Military History. The unit's history and lineage is very much separated from it's current parent unit, 153rd Cavalry Regiment. Also, if you are looking for secondary sources: Robert Hawk's "Florida's Army" is cited, as well as a New York Times bestseller, "Last True Story I'll Ever Tell" by John Crawford written entirely about this unit (https://www.amazon.com/Last-True-Story-Ever-Tell/dp/1594482012). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mudangel (talk • contribs) 03:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

• There are numerous sources from the Tallahassee Democrat, The Weekly Tallahasseean, The True Democrat, the Ocala Evening Star, and other FLorida newspapers about the "Governor's Guards" and their importance to the community and the state. They were important to the community of Tallahassee and Leon County as the only military unit until the mid-1950s. The Governor's Guards is a military unit, but has been a ceremony unit, a local defense force and among its members have been prominent citizens, legislators, a Florida Supreme Court Justice, and many have been sons of governors. I will be incorporating some of these secondary sources into the main article. Here are some:
