Section 41.578. Missouri adjutant general staff identification badge.

41.578. The adjutant general of Missouri is hereby authorized to present, in the name of the state of Missouri, a Missouri adjutant general staff identification badge, which is of suitable design as may be determined by the adjutant general of Missouri, and is neither an award nor decoration, but is a distinguished mark of service on the adjutant general's staff. This visible sign of professional growth associated with the important duties and responsibilities of the adjutant general's staff is not automatic, but is based on demonstrated outstanding performance of duty and approval by the adjutant general of Missouri. Not more than one Missouri adjutant general staff identification badge shall be presented under the provisions of this section to any one person, nor shall such badge be awarded to or retained by any person whose service shall not have been honorable. In the event of the death of any person during or subsequent to their service which, in the opinion of the adjutant general of Missouri, would be entitled to the Missouri adjutant general staff identification badge, the same may be presented to the surviving primary next of kin.
