Texas National Guard Adjutant Generals Award Service Ribbon
History
The Texas National Guard Adjutant General’s Award honors Texas National Guard members who carry out noteworthy service or achievements so as to set themselves apart from their peers but of a lesser nature than would warrant a more prestigious award.
The Texas National Guard is composed of the Texas Army National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. The Army component dates back to a militia established by Sam Houston in 1835; it currently numbers approximately 19,000 and operates 117 armories. The Air component, headquartered in Austin, traces back to the 111th Aero Squadron formed in 1917 in support of World War I efforts.
