USGI Mexican Border Defense Medal Ribbon

Description

These are Mexican Border Defense Medal (MBDM) Ribbons. The MBDM is a revival of the original Mexican Border Service Medal (MBSM) that was awarded to US Military personnel who participated in guarding the US-Mexico border from 1916 to 1917 after the actions of Poncho Villa and his raid in New Mexico. While the original MBSM was made obsolete it has since been revived for the first time in over 100 years due to the recent deployment of US Military personnel to the US-Mexico border. As of January 20th 2025, the MBDM is awarded to US Military personnel who have been deployed to the US-Mexico border in support of Homeland Security/ CBP for 30+ days and were stationed within near the US border in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas or within adjacent waters.
