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.
