The bill would create a new military ribbon that National Guard members could receive when they perform homeland defense duties within the United States. This ribbon would recognize and honor Guard members who serve their country by responding to emergencies, natural disasters, or other domestic security needs rather than overseas deployments. The change would give these service members official recognition similar to what soldiers receive for other types of military service.
