The Armed Forces Service Medal is a round bronze medal 1 1 â 4 in (32 mm) in diameter. The obverse of the medal bears a demi-torch, as held by the Statue of Liberty, with rays radiating from behind the torch.
Rep. Joe Barton, a Republican who represents a district south of Dallas, made his mea culpa in a statement after a nude photo and a salacious sext surfaced on social media. While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women, it read. Each was consensual.
Early life, education, and early career. Barton was born in Waco, Texas, the son of Bess Wynell (nÃ©e Buice) and Larry Linus Barton. He graduated from Waco High School. He attended Texas A&M University in College Station on a Gifford-Hill Opportunity Award scholarship and received a B.S. in industrial engineering in 1972.
