This is an Iraqi Air Force 2nd Class medal. This Order was awarded to the Brigadier General who flew 28 missions against Israel during the war in 1973. The person eventually retired with a rank of Brigadier General in the Iraqi Air Force.

The medal is of very similar design as the 1st class. One difference is that the 2nd class medal is issued in silver and worn on the breast not around the neck.
