Spain - Order of Military Merit (Orden del M?rito Militar)

[Megan]

I have now turned my attention to Spain...

Here from the Order of Military Merit (Orden del M?rito Militar) is the Grand Cross with yellow distinction, the current version as awarded since 2003 - the order having been instituted in 1864. The yellow distinction is awarded for death or wounds in the course of military action.

Here is the current issue of the Grand Cross, blue distinction - awarded when the act or services were performed during peacekeeping or other international actions.
