Description
Medals and Ribbons of the U.S. Navy is the most complete, fully illustrated guide to the awards of the United States Navy -- covering every medal, ribbon, decoration, and device from the Revolution to the present, including the newest Arctic Service Medal.
Published in honor of the 250th Anniversary of the United States Navy (1775-2025), this book is both a tribute and an essential reference. Since World War II, more than 4 million Americans have worn the uniform of the United States Navy. When you include their immediate families -- wives, husbands, children, and parents -- that number expands to over 10 million Americans who share a direct connection to Navy service. This book speaks to them all. It is more than a reference -- it is a tribute to one of the largest communities of service and sacrifice in our nation.
Inside you'll find:
• A complete history of U.S. Navy awards from 1782 to 2025.
• Full-color plates of every medal, ribbon, and device.
• Step-by-step guides on how medals are earned, how they're worn, and how veterans and families can obtain them.
• Examples of medal and ribbon displays from World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan.
• Special chapters on foreign awards, United Nations and NATO medals, Merchant Marine awards, and commemoratives.
This is the only book of its kind published and printed in the United States -- researched, written, and produced to the highest standards. Whether you're a sailor, a veteran, a family member, a historian, or a collector, this book is your authoritative guide to Navy honors.
Honor the past. Understand the tradition. Preserve the legacy.
