South Dakota Distinguished Service Medal

[Obergefreiter]

I know that there are people out there who specialize in U.S. National Guard awards. Does anyone own, or has anyone ever seen, a Distinguished Service Medal awarded by the South Dakota National Guard?

Not sure if I have ever seen an actual one. Still, here is a photo from Greg Ogletree's book. It may have been replaced by a "ribbon-only" award. The ribbon should be yellow with blue stripes.
