5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book -- Lots of info and pictures.,
This review is from: United States Military Medals 1939 to Present (Hardcover)
Shows color plates of all medals, ribbons awarded by the United States. Also shows Foreign Awards authorized as part of U.S. military uniform. The basic criterion for each award is given so you can see if you might be eligible for this award. There are also sections on devices (oak leaves etc.), their meaning and wear, how to wear medals in proper order and on civilian clothing. (a pin is considered appropriate) A section is devoted to the issue of U.S. Medals to Veterans, Retirees and thier families. A Hardcover book which only costs a bit more than the softcover. Generally a well done book. My only criticism as a collector is that it does not show the reverse side of medals. Ed Jones Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 753

Great Book For Medal Collectors, Recipents, and Enthusiasts,
By Jason Steele (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: U.S. Military Medals 1939 to Present: 1939 To 1994 (Paperback)
This is a great book. It has full color photographs of practically every medal issued by the government since 1939. It also gives the criteria for each award. If you collect medals or are just interested in thier history, this is an excellent book.
