For the Brave National Guardsmen who defended the Capitol from crazed right wing nutjobs. Force to sleep on the floor of the Capital building then kicked out to a parking garage to freeze, fed moldy food and guard the razor wire topped fence surrounding the Capitol designed to keep the crazy right wing nut jobs out.


Here it is, the Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon and the District of Columbia Emergency Service Ribbon

WASHINGTON — National Guard troops who deployed to the nation’s capital to provide security following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol Building will be awarded local service ribbons, a defense official said Friday.

The District of Columbia National Guard plans to award at least one of two ribbons to all soldiers and airmen who supported the security mission before, during and after the 59th presidential inauguration in recognition of their service, Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Carver, the spokesman for the Virginia Air National Guard and the director of the Joint Task Force- District of Columbia’s Joint Information Center, said in a statement.

More than 26,000 National Guard members from all 50 states, D.C., and three territories were deployed ahead of the inauguration to support local and federal law enforcement agencies following the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Since the inauguration, most of the troops have returned home. As of Tuesday, 5,214 remain in Washington, according to the Pentagon. While the mission was expected to end March 12, the U.S. Capitol Police have requested the Defense Department extend the deployment for two months.

    Not at all jimdeere That is straight from Stars and Strippers. I saw it on TV last night too.


    Nasty Nancy got a Retired General to do a threat assessment of the Capital and he says the Soldier should stay and that there should be a QRF on alert at all times along with a MP Company. The General is the guy from Katrina, Gen Honore(he is a libtard nutjob of the 1st order).

    That is what is looks like today. When I was in most medals were all combat related. There were none or very few of these participation medals.

    Medals can be divided into 3 broad categories-

    1. I was there
    2. I was there and done good
    3. I was there and forgot to duck

    Our squadron got a medal back in 74 for plowing snow for the poor civilian townsfolks who were caught unprepared for the 6" of the white stuff that fell on their southern city! 😮

    I said 1974 because that is the year I got to that base. The medal was actually issued in 72. The snow was long gone and forgotten by that time!
