The new medal for military service is called the medal of preserving innocence. In the book The Things They Carried, war is viewed as an event that steals youth and innocence away from many, but with the many that have their innocence stealing, they preserve the innocence of many back home. The qualities of the recipient include but are not limited to: stopping the truth of war actions from spreading back home, taking action to stop the enemy from invading territory, and performing heartless acts to see a fellow solider make it home alive. The medal includes many symbols. The heart is there to show that it takes a lot of love for someone to shield them from the truth of the war. The crest of the eagle is to show that bravery does not always

The order allowing the defacement of colors with Battle Honors was rescinded in 1890. Battle Honors were now to be inscribed onto silver bands or rings and affixed the unit’s flagstaffs. This was the official method of displaying Battle Honors remained the silver bands until 1918 were replaced, as an economy measure, by colored ribbons, and eventually, in 1921, by the streamers used

A Soldier in 1904 helped redesign the original Medal of Honor. It is described as a five pointed star. The Medal of Honor consists of thirteen stars which signify the thirteen colonies, Minerva symbolizes the Roman Goddess of wisdom and war. The oak leaves stood for strength and the laurel leaves victory. The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” surround Minerva’s head and “Valor” surmounted by an eagle. On the reverse, it is engraved with the word “THE CONGRESS TO” followed by the name of the recipient. This redesign was presented by a Soldier that not only received a Medal of Honor for his duty during the American Civil War nearby Bethesda Church, VA in 31 May 1864, but was also one of only sixteen Soldiers that belong to the “Corps of Engineers” who have received the Medal of Honor.

If someone asked you to design a medal to honor people in the air force, then what is stopping you from simply drawing a plane and calling it a day? Iskowitz goes above and beyond when stylizing medals,

A young woman started playing a traditional wedding hymn and the side door of the Cabinet room opened and the priest, Jackson and Harry walked into the rose garden and stood by the alter. Both men were in their Marine Corps dress uniforms, complete with officer swords and Jackson’s left arm was in a sling. Both men cut quite the handsome figure standing there as United States Marines. The Medal of Honor, The highest military honor that the United States could bestow upon a member of the U.S. military, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty stood out around the neck of Colonel Jackson MacKenzie. This moment was very special to him so he decided to wear it in public for the first time at his wedding. Followed closely by Jackie when she stepped out of the Palm room in the West cannonade in simple and elegant white wedding dress with Colonel Chris Patterson.

There are many awards and achievements to be earned in the United States military. But one award stands out from all of them the most prestige’s one and it is called the Medal of Honor.

A couple of days later, Gabby Russell ran an extensive article in her paper, adding significant details about the mission and included the same pictures from Garden City because those photographs were too powerful and poignant because they showed Lt. Colonel's MacKenzie's remorse at the loss of his friend. Of course, she added the two interviews with the VFW commander and Mrs. Roberts because it painted Jackson in such an honorable light. The mention of the Medal of Honor caused several senior politicians to recommend a new and unbiased investigation, but several high ranking and influential army officers put a stop to the upswell of support for Jackson and his men with their lies and powerful connections. As a consequence, Gabby fully expected

This exhibit is certainly very different than the ones we have seen in pervious gallery reviews. At the performance studio is filled with the Veteran’s. This is the first time ICC has gone hand and hand with the military veterans and hope that this is the beginning of an annual art show that takes place over the years. https://icc.edu/arts/news/icc-art-gallery-exhibits-featuring-works-by-veterans-local-artist-open-october-19/. All the art work has a different artist, but also the artist have different techniques for their art work. After looking through all the different art pieces I pulled out one that certainly stood out to me when as I was looking through them. From Max Barton who was a part of the 5th Army Air Crop,

This one commemorates Robert William Coggon of Epworth. The plaques were made of bronze, and became known as the ‘Dead Man’s Penny,’ because of the similarity in appearance to the somewhat smaller penny coin. This token includes an image of Britannia holding a trident and standing with a lion. In her outstretched left hand Britannia holds an oak wreath above the rectangular cartouche bearing the deceased's name in raised letters. The name does not include the rank since there was to be no distinction between sacrifices made by different individuals. Two dolphins swim around Britannia, symbolizing Britain's sea power, and at the bottom a second lion is tearing apart the German eagle. Around the picture the legend reads, ‘He died for freedom and honour,’ or for the six hundred plaques issued to commemorate women, ‘She died for freedom and honour.’ The 1,355,000 plaques used a total of 450 tonnes of bronze. They were still being issued into the

Furlong (2002) takes a quantitative approach using the UK National Inventory of War Memorials to categorize and statistically analyze different forms, styles and geographical positions and spread of Boer Wars memorials, World War I and world War II memorials in England and Wales. In respect to form figurative and non-figurative memorials

Desmond Eyles, Richard Dennis and Louise Irvine, the authors of Royal Doulton Figures (revised 1987), had unparalleled access to the figure archive of Doulton’s Burslem factory. The figures of Leslie Harradine are meticulously catalogued along with those of other Doulton modellers. However, one cannot always rely on the evidence of a figure’s back stamp, or even its HN number. Just as the small studio pottery, so is large scale figure production subject to human error. Occasional a genuine Royal Doulton figure comes to light, minus its official back-stamp. Others have been known to bear an HN number, quite unrelated to its designated colour-way. These anomalies, which appear to have escaped the Doulton rigid inspection regime, are often acquired by collectors for their curiosity
