Tmd Seal: Design Elements
1 How the Texas Military Department Saved the Symbols of Texas The Texas Military Department Seal is derived from the Texas Coat of Arms. This Coat of Arms and the closely related design of the State Seal have a long and storied history in their development, adaptation, misinterpretation of design, and eventual correction thanks to the efforts of the Texas Military Department successor the Adjutant Generals De- partment. The Texas Coat of Arms design predates Texas’ entry to the United States. In 1839 the offi- cial description of the coat of arms was registered as a “White star of five points, on an az- ure ground, encircled by an olive and live oak branches.” the seal would expand on this de- scription to include the words Republic of Texas encircling the entirety of the design. The design would be proposed and passed alongside the proposal of the iconic Lone star flag. No significant changes were proposed to these designs after 1839. Even admission to the union only resulted in a change from “Republic of Texas” to “The State of Texas” in 1845. As the state grew new departments, agencies, local governments and private citizens would customize versions of the seal, some including significant design interpretations not found within the accepted description of the seal. This often included the use of Post Oak leaves in place of Live Oak leaves, the addition of stars and diamonds as design flourishes and inclu- sion of T,E,X,A,S alternating between the point of the star. In 1946, the National Guard Bureau directed state Air Guards to develop a unique symbol to affix to aircraft fuselages, identifying which state owned the aircraft. -

Under General George Washington, the Continental Army fought for the independence and rights of a fledgling nation. This first American Army— primarily made up of ordinary citizens with little or no warfighting experience—comprised Soldiers who held a zealous desire for independence. Their motivation for freedom ultimately led them to defeat the well-established and well-trained British army. This motivation and love for country are instilled in today’s Soldiers as they continue to fight for and defend freedom from oppression for all. -

Lead Contamination of State Armories
Division of Military and Naval Affairs Lead Contamination of State Armories Report 2019-S-50 September 2020 OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER Thomas P. DiNapoli, State Comptroller Division of State Government Accountability Audit Highlights Objectives To determine whether the Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) has implemented adequate controls to ensure all armories are tested for lead and are remediated where excessive levels are detected. The audit covers the period January 1, 2015 through March 12, 2020. About the Program Historically, armories were built with an indoor firing range (IFR), used for training purposes. The firing of weapons inside the IFR resulted in lead dust accumulation throughout.Although IFRs in New York have not been used in more than 20 years, over time, the accumulation of lead dust has been transported to other areas of the armory on Soldiers’ shoes; through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system; and as a result of weapons cleaning, maintenance, movement, or storage. Personal exposures to lead can occur through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact and can result in growth disorders as well as damage to the nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive system. Lead is considered a cumulative poison, as it is transported by the bloodstream and accumulates in the bones and organs. Exposure to lead is especially dangerous for young and unborn children. DMNA is the State’s executive agency responsible for managing New York’s military forces, including the New York National Guard. The Department of Defense (DOD) National Guard Bureau (NGB) acts as a federal authority over the New York National Guard, and provides them with federal resources, including funding, regulatory guidance, and equipment.
