[Medal of Honor] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• xeiss said:

  That's a cool looking medal!

• Civilian Scrabble said:

  Way more than "cool" going on there

• Shallow Basin said:

  I'm surprised they don't list it in the description, but this is the Army Medal of Honor.

• Phil Stripling said:

  The item below the medal is the rosette, a six-sided pin that can be worn on civilian clothes. If I understand correctly, the ribbon shown above the medal is upside down. It should be worn with 2 stars on top, 3 below. The medal of honor is no longer pinned to the tunic, as was the case when this medal was made.

• Ernest Gudath said:

  Over 45 years ago, as a brand new 2nd Lieutenant, I exchanged salutes with a Major walking down the sidewalk at Aberdeen Proving Ground. As we approached one another, I noticed a light blue ribbon with small stars on his uniform. I gave him the sharpest salute I could. I'm sure that he forgot me after five paces. I still remember that moment.
