Sgt. Maj. Larry Rayburn, information operations sergeant major with the 36th Infantry Division headquarters in Basrah, Iraq, received the Texas Medal of Valor from Maj. Gen. Eddy M. Spurgin, 36th Infantry Division commanding general. Rayburn earned the second highest Texas award for his actions during an ill-fated training exercise in Germany in 1985 when he was a lead scout with 2nd Platoon, Company G, 143rd Infantry (Airborne Ranger). Rayburn was one of two men, of a five-man “stick”, who escaped injury during an All-Weather Delivery System parachute jump. This was the first such jump for members of the Texas Army National Guard.
