DAR Armed Services Awards
The DAR always has been a strong supporter of
our national defense, particularly in crucial times of our history.
The National Defense Committee was established in 1926 to include
promotion of an enlightened public opinion as to our nation’s
security and defense, through publications, resolutions, and
informative literature, all to advocate a strong American military
defense, to preserve our American heritage of freedom, to protect
the Constitution of the U.S., and to insure the survival of our
nation’s sovereignty.TSDAR
recognizes men and women in military service at nine military bases
in the state of Texas. This recognition was begun in 1958 by Mrs.
Felix Irwin, State Regent, who established an Outstanding Instructor
Pilot award at Corpus Christi Naval Air Station and Randolph Air
Force Base, known as the Texas Armed Services Award I.
Texas Armed Services Awards III
were enacted by Mrs. John Kenneth Harrell, State Regent 1991-1994,
to include Brooks City Base, Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, and
Randolph Air Force Base.
TSDAR is very proud of the
accomplishments of the recipients and wish to state our appreciation
to every one of the men and women in the military, for they are
rendering the greatest of citizen services in defense of our
country.
