About this ribbon

SECNAV approved the medal on 7 June 1921. Eligible Marine officers required a Senate-confirmed brevet commission; posthumous awards were excluded.

Catalog associations: Marine Corps. Historical or discontinued award retained for veterans and families. Branch associations are browsing guidance; other service awards may also appear in a veteran’s record.

Service years and award dates

Years help surface possibilities. A date overlap does not show that someone earned an award. Some date rules describe completion, specific operations or retroactive eligibility, rather than a universal service window.

Service-date coverage for this ribbon is still being confirmed. It remains available in the finder when you enter service years.

Date coverage is not certified complete. The finder keeps this entry available when listed dates do not overlap.

Research notes and remaining questions

General qualifying period not independently verified; do not substitute 1921 approval for service.

Official award references

Consult the applicable service guidance for eligibility, precedence and authorized devices.
