	Obsolete military awards of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Medals for valor (such as the Medal of Honor and Silver Star) are rarely declared obsolete regardless of the amount of time which has passed since the last issuance.
		United States service medals of the World Wars have also been declared obsolete by the U.S. military but may still be found in various charts, publications, and instructions.
		This is since a large number of veterans still display such medals as retirement awards or through functions and ceremonies with various veteran groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion.

		merican bluejackets and Marines were without official medals or other visible signs of their overseas service or combat for the first 120 years of the Navy's existence, since orders, medals and decorations were seen as the trappings of royalty and empire and ran contrary to the republican spirit present at the founding of our country.
		On rare occasions, Congress authorized special commemorative medals for heroes of dramatic naval victories, but these went chiefly to the vessels' commanding officer and were not medals intended for wear on the naval uniform.
		Two, however -- the Battle of Manila Bay Medal and the West Indies Naval Campaign Medal, 1898 -- are included because of their widespread issuance.

		In the 136 years since the Medal of Honor was established, a total of 3,428 Medals have been awarded (as of April 1998), to a total of 3,408 recipients (twenty have received the Medal twice).
		Although the proper name of the award is the Medal of Honor (Army Medal of Honor, Navy Medal of Honor, etc.), it is due to the fact that it was established by an act of Congress, that most erroneously refer to it as the "Congressional Medal of Honor".
		Although there were special medals voted by Congress for special contributions (the first awarded to George Washington in 1776; the first awarded to common soldiers were those given to three militiamen who jumped and captured a spy named John Andre), there were no special awards for servicemen.
