JPL Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Here is an article, with a picture of this medal. In a ceremony recognizing their service to their country, two dozen individuals were presented with the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal. Those receiving the honor have served in the armed forces while the United States has been engaged in various conflicts abroad. The Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal is awarded to Connecticut residents who have served during times of conflict, from World War I to the present.

JPL Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Many State, County, City, Town and Civic Organization have issued war service medals over the years. They were extremely popular after WW1 and to a lesser degree after WW2. Some of these medals are quite common, while others are quite rare. This would make an interesting collecting theme.
