RESOLUTIONS.
MEDALS FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND MEN IN TEXAS
NATIONAL GUARD.
H. C. R. No. 8.]
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.
WHEREAS, The State of Texas has never authorized a
medal for members of its National Guard for active State duty,
or for other service; and
WHEREAS, The security of our homes and the purity and
permanency of our ideals and our institutions of free government
depend upon the patriotism of our citizens in peace as in
war; and
WHEREAS, Such a medal given by an appreciative State is
an appropriate recognition of patriotic service and serves to
encourage others to render such service; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, That an appropriate medal and ribbon
be awarded to all officers and men who served in the Texas National
Guard during the Spanish American War, the Phillipine
Campaign, the World War, or who have served for five years
during any other period, or who are recommended by the Commanding
General of the 36th Infantry Brigade, or the Commanding
General of the 56th Cavalry Brigade for meritorious
service rendered at any time, under the provisions of Articles
5778, 5830, and 5831, Texas Revised Civil Statutes, or any other
provision of the Texas Statutes now in force, or hereafter to be
enacted, authorizing the Governor to call forth the National
Guard for active military duty for the preservation of peace and
order and the enforcement of the laws, be hereby authorized by
the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, such
medal and ribbon to be similar in size and material to those prescribed
for Federal service by the War Department of the
United States, but not to closely resemble any such medal or
ribbon previously authorized for such Federal service.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Adjutant General
of the State of Texas be and hereby is directed to so design,
cause to be manufactured and issue such medals and ribbons to
all officers and men who have become entitled to them, under
the provisions of this Resolution, or who may hereafter become
entitled to them, with an appropriate bar, star, or disk or other
attachment for each succeeding period of five years service.
Approved by the Governor March 20, 1930.
