D-151 (Indiana Guard) I believe has Vietnam honors.

G-143 (TXARNG) holds LRSU designation because it was too hard to maintain Ranger-qualified strength.

I served in C Company, 1st Battalion, 143rd Infantry, 36th Airborne Brigade of the Texas Army National Guard, the 82nd's Guard round-out brigade. It deactivated in 1980. Texas received a re-flagging and stood up G Company (Ranger)(Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol), 143rd Infantry, TXARNG, headquartered at the Houston Light Guard Armory in Houston. 3rd Platoon, Pathfinders, and Riggers were at a separate location at Camp Mabry in Austin).

F Company (Ranger) (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol), 425th Infantry was in Flint, Michigan.

I'm told the Ranger designations were dropped and both companies were reassigned as Corps LRSUs in the 90s.
