US Service Medals from Civilian and Military Goverment Agencies.

[Guest Darrell]

Haven't seen many if any of the Public Service / Civilian Medals posted on this forum yet. Here is a couple I've added. Another slippery slope I'm afraid

3. Navy Superior Civilian Service Medal.

The Navy Superior Civilian Service Medal is awarded by the Secretary of the Navy for superior civilian service or contributions which have resulted in exceptional benefit to the Navy. The services are of a lesser degree than that required for the Distinguished Civilian Service Medal.

Darrell - A very interesting thread, yes and a slippery slope if you consider all of the agencies in the US Govt that issue medals. We can't forget the Army Civilian Medals and decorations. Here is the link to them at The U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry website. I believe I have the first four service awards at home and will scan them if anyone is interested: http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Civilian...MedalsDecor.htm

Award plaque. I also have some of the prototype proximity fuses he helped design!

Thanks for looking.

Hi Kevin,

Nice ones. These Civilian / Public Service Medals are very underappreciated, but some of the designs are even better than the valour awards

Ralph,

Interesting badge. You dont see these every day ...
