Rick, I do not know much about these awards but one thing looks odd to me. The ribbon is very sharp and the award is not. I think the picture of the award itself is a drawing or picture from a book or catalog photoshoped with a scan of a good ribbon. Also the closeup picture of the award at the bottom of the page IS NOT the same award as the one at the top. One is gold one looks to be silver but they may just be lighting. But the picture in the center is not the same different look to the rocks and forground of the ruins. Just my 2 cents worth Greg
