I had no idea that there were so many Pubic Service medals!

When would these ever be worn on a medal or ribbon bars, since there were no uniforms?

Paul - I can only speak for Army Civilian awards. They are considered honorary awards and normally the only day you wear the medal is the day it was awarded. Although I've seen folks wear the lapel pins. Kevin

Hi Paul, you should try collecting them all ... they just keep coming out of the woodwork

I just saw a documentry on Vietnam. There was a part focusing on MOH winner Stockdale. His wife was awarded the Navy Distinguished Public Service Medal for services during the war. She is shown wearing the entire medal at a special banquet or such. I guess, they would wear them when appropriate? Good question.

Defense Intelligence Agency - Civilian Leadership Medal

This medal was designed and adopted in late 1997. A small number were manufactured and delivered, but it's unclear if any were issued. In 2002, the DIA was looking for a Civilian Expeditionary Medal to award to the numerous civilian employees deployed for the War on Terrorism. It was decided to modify this medal by changing the words on the reverse scroll from "Leadership Award" to "Civilian Expeditionary". The service ribbon, lapel pin, and obverse of the medal remained the same. Needless to say, this has caused a great deal of confusion. The Leadership Medal is no longer used, and few were made.
