Utah National Guard Commendation Ribbon
History
The Utah National Guard Commendation Ribbon honors Utah National Guard members who carry out exceptional service or accomplishments on behalf of the Guard, typically of a lesser nature than would warrant the Medal of Merit.
The Utah National Guard is composed of the Utah Army National Guard and the Utah Air National Guard. The Army component traces its roots back to Mormon settlers who established a militia in 1849; it is currently headquartered in Draper and operates 30 armories. The Air component was established in 1946 with the 191st Fighter Squadron and is based in Salt Lake City; it currently numbers approximately 1,450 members.
Details
The ribbon is dark green and is bisected by a thin vertical white stripe; it also features three thin vertical white stripes toward each edge.
