Who issues the medal? What are the award eligibility requirements? The medal and the ribbon with the gold gilt is beautiful! Thanks. John Hi. Initially, it was a commercial medal, but later the design of the medal was used for the "Defender of Ukraine" medal of the Ministry of Defense. Recently, the design was changed again and now it has a different look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm happy to annouce that the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington DC has informed us that our son, Andrew Peters, has been posthumously awarded the "Order of Courage, III Class" for his service and selfless sacrifice. Once we receive the medal, I'll post a picture. John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bittersweet. Fantastic that his courage is recognised, but so sad that he's not able to receive the award himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Ura87, I've been in contact with the family of another fallen legion member. I mentioned Andrew being awarded the Order of Courage, III Class. The family said their son was awarded this medal...but they didn't know the name of it. Can you help identify this medal so I can relay the information to the family? Thanks.

Rocket Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) My son Andrew Peters was finally awarded the Order for Courage III Class for his service and sacrifice in helping defend the people of Ukraine. I attended the award ceremony on August 29th in Washington DC. August 29th is the "National Memorial Day of Defenders of Ukraine". A total of 7 families of fallen American volunteers attended the event. Needless to say, it was a very emotional event with not a dry eye in the house. As a token of my appreciation I gave the ambassador one of Andrew's spare U.S. Army dog tags. She got quite emotional by the gesture, as did I. I don't know if or when Andrew might receive any other awards. Maybe once this terrible war is finally over.

Rocket Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Hi Ura87, Another family of a fallen volunteer was awarded this medal for their son's service. Are you able to identify it for me so I can pass the information on to the family? Thanks. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
