Georgia National Guard 10 Year Service Medal Ribbon
History
The Georgia National Guard 10 Year Service Medal Ribbon honors Georgia National Guard members who carry out 10 years of service honorably.
The Georgia National Guard consists of the Georgia Army National Guard and the Georgia Air National Guard, which are currently estimated to number 11,100 and 3,000 members respectively. The Army component, headquartered in Marietta, traces its roots back to 1751 militia activity in Savannah. The Air component was formed officially in May of 1948, although its origins lie in the 840th Aero Squadron, a non-flying unit that supported World War I efforts; the Air guard is based in Brunswick, Georgia.
Details
The ribbon features a gray central section flanked by a thin white vertical stripe on either side; the right edge features a slightly thicker red stripe and the left a blue stripe.
