I know of this award. Coast Guard members are still eligible to receive this award every time a life is saved on board of a helicopter. The younger kids normally get them. Regardless, I would be willing to bet that an early award like this would have an original signature on it. There were not too many helicopter rescues at sea back then.

Although.... quite a few lives were saved in Korea by helicopters.
