Was this an actual award or more of a commemorative token?

[Lukasz Gaszewski]

Actual and worn along with other medals! Here is the type for the uniformed services.

[Paul R]

Thank you for that. So the initially posted award is worn by civilians and the seocond photo is one worn by someone in uniform(military. police, and etc)?

[Lukasz Gaszewski]

Exactly!

[Megan]

... and that kind Lukasz has sent me pictures of the military version for my site, too :)

[Paul R]

Nice! Thank you.

I have never seen this ribbon type on a ribbon bar before. They must have been pretty rare.
