I find this book perfect, it was just the thing I was looking for.
Every kind of medal is presented along with its history.

This book provides a vast wealth of information for those with interests in the field of U.S. military awards such as collectors, researchers, enthusiasts, veterans of previous conflicts and active military personnel. If anyone has ever served in the military this will be a prized pocession on your bookshelf!

Since I've had this book, I've used it time and time again as a quick reference guide for the order of precedence and the proper wear of military ribbons and their attachments. The book contains full-color photographs of all the current and previous military medals and ribbons (except the four or five most recent awards) along with a history, proper order of precedence, occasions for wear, and a full explanation of the proper wear of the attachments for each award broken down by each individual service.

If you are an awards officer/clerk, then you will appreciate the full-color guide with each of these awards in order and guide for wear. This book beats looking up the official instruction for your particular branch.

If you are in the military, a veteran, or an awards officer/clerk in any of the four branches, Coast Guard or Merchant Marines, I'd recommend this book to you.
