History
The Pennsylvania National Guard Military Honors Program Ribbon honors Pennsylvania National Guard members who carry out service at no fewer than 200 qualifying funerals.
Made up of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, the Pennsylvania National Guard is among the largest state guards in the US. The Army component, headquartered in Harrisburg, dates back to a 1747 militia founded by Benjamin Franklin that went by the name “the Associators.” The Air component, based in Annville, traces its roots back to 1924, when the 103d Observation Squadron was formed.
Details
The ribbon is green and features a thin band of red, white, and blue in the center as well as one thin stripe each of white, yellow, and dark blue proceeding outward on each edge.
