The Former Texas State Guard Association Medal is presented for previous membership in the Texas State Guard Association. The ribbon and medals may now only be worn on appropriate Texas State Guard uniforms by former Texas State Guard Association life members (those who joined prior to the merger with NGAT). Life members of the association wear the hourglass device with the award. New supporters of the TXSGNA will receive this medal which authorizes the donor to wear the ribbon for the year of donation or permanently for Life Donors. Additionally, a bronze oak leaf cluster is authorized for wear on the medal for three consecutive years of annual donations.
I wonder if he knew what it was because he donated to them and received it or if they were selling medals at a flea market and it looked pretty.
