Medals and Ribbons of the U.S. Navy: The Complete Illustrated Guide to 250 Years of Naval Honor, Valor, and Service
This is the ONLY book in America that covers every U.S. Navy medal, ribbon, and decoration from the Revolution to the Global War on Terror.
For the first time in one full-color, beautifully illustrated volume, Medals and Ribbons of the U.S. Navy presents the entire story of U.S. Navy awards-from the days of wooden ships and iron men to the nuclear-powered fleet and special warfare units of today.
This is not just a reference guide-it's a tribute to the men and women who have earned our nation's highest honors on, above, and beneath the sea. With hundreds of full-color images and meticulous research, this definitive 250th Anniversary edition showcases every medal, ribbon, and authorized device awarded to sailors across generations.
Highlights include:
- Every Navy medal and ribbon ever authorized, with full-color illustrations of all known types, variants, and attachments
- The correct order of wear and detailed guidance for active duty, reserves, retirees, and veterans
- Step-by-step instructions on how veterans and families can research and claim unissued medals
- Stunning displays of real veterans' ribbon racks and medal sets from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Global War on Terror
- Coverage of foreign awards, NATO and UN medals, and campaign honors authorized for Navy personnel
- A full section on multi-service ribbons and how they're properly worn by Navy veterans
- Includes chapters on how to identify a veteran's full set of earned decorations using service records and award citations
This book is a Rosetta Stone for decoding the legacy of Navy service through its awards-and a must-have for anyone who wants to understand, preserve, and display the full measure of a sailor's honor.
Whether you're a Navy veteran, a family historian, a collector, or a patriot looking to honor America's maritime warriors-this book belongs in your hands. No other publication in the United States brings this much detail, accuracy, and color to the medals of our Navy heroes.
