  • Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons
    Illustrated Guide United States Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons by Steven G. Haskin Current as of March 11, 2018 Illustrated Guide – United States Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons This guide is designed to illustrate the ribbons found in The Institute of Heraldry's Military (TIOH) MIL-DTL-11589 ribbon specifications to assist researchers, collectors, historians and those with a general interest in United States ribbons. Since the specifications change over time, the document is dated so the user can determine if they have the latest information. The source document is MIL-DLT-11589F, Ribbon, Awards, General Specification For and its associated specification sheets. These are commonly referred to as "slash" sheets because of the forward slash in the specification sheet number. Each sheet is award specific and listed numerically in MIL-DTL-11589F, Sup 1 which is the supplement to the general specification. For example; MIL-DTL-11589/1G is Ribbon, Commendation, U.S. Air Force. When first published, the initial specification sheet will not have a suffix letter. The first revision would be MIL-DTL-11589/1A and each successive change will be identified by the next letter. The letters "I" and "O" are not used due to possible confusion with 1 and 0 (zero). Suffixes are not used in this guide to ease the task of updates. Each specification sheet is designed to provide ribbon manufacturers the necessary information to ensure uniform quality, color, and dimensions irrespective of the manufacturer. Not all United States ribbons are included in the slash sheets. Either the governmental agency did not use TIOH to design or develop their award or because the ribbon is described in a different specification sheet, drawing or other document.

Truman’s Executive Order 9706 dated 15 March 1946, to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946.

  • HM 71 Recognizing Veteran Suicide SPONSOR(S): Willhite, Smith D
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: HM 71 Recognizing Veteran Suicide SPONSOR(S): Willhite, Smith D. and others TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Local Administration & Veterans Affairs 16 Y, 0 N Renner Miller Subcommittee 2) State Affairs Committee Renner Williamson SUMMARY ANALYSIS Since 2008, the number of veteran suicides has exceeded 6,300 each year. Many risk factors may affect veteran suicide rates including economic disparities, homelessness, and health issues such as traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse disorder. In 2007, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) developed a comprehensive program designed to reduce the incidence of suicide among veterans and launched the Veterans Crisis Line, a program that connects veterans and current servicemembers in crisis and their families and friends with information from qualified responders through a confidential toll-free hotline, online chat, and text messaging service. The VA partners with hundreds of organizations, both at the local and national level to raise awareness of the VA’s suicide prevention resources and to educate people about how they can support veterans and servicemembers in their communities. The VA also partners with community mental health providers to expand the network of local treatment resources available to veterans. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated health care system in the United States. Although the VA emphasizes mental health care for veterans, many veterans do not reach out to the VA for help. Most use local hospitals and health clinics. However, community health providers are not prepared to address the needs of veterans.
