Very nice, the USA are really awarding a large bunch of medals for civilians.

But I'm wondering what the requirements are for those medals?

Kind regards,

Jacky, good question. It is extremely hard to find information on the medals, even more so for requirements for being awarded them. I never had any idea there were this many Civilian and Public Service Agencies / Medals in existance.

It would be great if a book wa written on all these similar to the Call of Duty did to the Military side.

Holy cow, that's an impressive collection of civilian awards.

I had no idea there were so many of them. A friend of mine was in Russia when they were destroying/dismanteling nukes. He got this medal as an observer to the destruction of them. I forget when it was but he said the US and the USSR agreed to a reduction of certain types of nukes under the first G. Bush administration and he was one of the group sent to confirm it. From what he says, Russians came and watched our guys destroy (dismantle) some of our nuke silos.

Has anyone seen one of these? I think it's a civilian award from the WW2 era.
