The Texas Medal of Valor, officially the Lone Star Medal of Valor, is the second highest military decoration that can be conferred to a service member of the Texas Military Forces.[1] It can also be conferred to service members of the United States Armed Forces or other state militaries.[2] Subsequent decorations are conferred by a silver twig of four oak leaves with three acorns on the stem device.[2] A lapel button is also conferred with this decoration.[2]
