 Military Rewards are given to recognize heroism, achievements and contributions, while defending the country from enemies. If these awards were conceived in a period since the American Revolution, there was no formal or systematic plan. About 60 decorations were identified and given the history of the United States armed forces. There were changes in the eligibility criteria and were discontinued several awards.

Award criteria are very strict military medals. A medal will be awarded or presented to a person to distinguish the whole of the date of the act, service or service was not honest.

It is interesting to note that once a medal was awarded, with a responsibility of individuals to the same status. If the coin is tarnished, damaged or lost, the same medal be bought! Although I am sure that this is a very good alternative deserving employees have won awards, and some abuse it now prices that believe they should have received or are impressive. This not only cheaper prices, minimized, to mention an achievement that takes the legal line that. For example, wearing a Medal of Honor fraudulent imposition of a fine of $ 100,000. I’m sure everyone is with me that all this is said and done agree with maybe the biggest satisfaction and pride to serve their country.
