Paul R Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have NEVER seen these on Ebay. You are still missing the bronze one? Now... these will never be awarded to Coast Guard members again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Department of Transportation - Railroad Medal for ValorThe following is a medal you don't see every day, and I'm sure not many knew of it's existence.U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration Medal of Honor. Federal Regulation 49 U.S.C. 80504, authorizes the President of the United States to award a bronze medal for bravery to any person who, by extreme daring, risks his/her life in trying to prevent, or to save the life of a person in, a grave accident/incident in the United States that involves an interstate rail carrier or a motor vehicle being operated on public highways. The actions for which the medal may be awarded must reflect such unusual daring and bravery that a person would not normally be expected to perform them as a regular part of his/her regular work or vocation. A similar medal is awarded by the Federal Highway Administration. Both are awarded by the Secretary of Transportation on behalf of the President. This medal is HUGE. The pendant measures 44mm diameter and the overall length from Pendant to ribbon pin bar is 125mm !Obverse: Edited March 25, 2009 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
