If you or someone you know has received any medals of distinction through the military please leave a comment with their name, rank, branch of service, year received, and medal awarded. If you would like to tell your story of how you came to receive the medal we would love to hear about it.
My goal is to have the largest list of soldiers with medals awarded on the Internet. Please pass this site to family and friends. If the war they fought in is not listed please do not let that discourage you, it would be my honor to add it. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know, I am here to help and try to preserve part of our history.
