From money appropriated for the purpose, the adjutant general shall issue a state ribbon to each Minnesota resident who is a member of the Minnesota army or air national guard who has been called to active duty to participate in Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, or any other military operation that is part of the war in the Persian Gulf region. The adjutant general may adopt rules necessary to implement this section. In the case of other reservists ordered to active duty, a certificate replica of the state ribbon will be rendered.
