		Some medals are however issued, either by official authorities or privately, on a large scale, often for sale (some largely meant to raise funds by the proceeds, even as a commercial enterprise) not as an individual distinction but rather as a souvenir, commemoration or other use without numerical limitation, such as devotional medals.
		A medal is usually worn with a ribbon on the left chest.
		The Medal of Honor of the United States armed forces is a bravery award worn around the neck, and may therefore be more rightly classified as a decoration.

		The medal was subsequently awarded to women: two were awarded to two civilian women in recognition of their role during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

		The U.S. military's awards program ñ designed to recognize both our combat heroes' valor and the meritorious deeds by those hard-working supporters who bring up the rear ñ has never been exactly fair.
		In the past, Joe and Jill have often gone unrecognized because there was no one left at the end of the battle to bear witness, or the paperwork got lost or wasn't written persuasively enough, or some eager-beaver officer in the chain of command stole their glory.
		I know of two Medals of Honor ñ one in Korea and the other with a Navy unit in Vietnam ñ that shamefully went to still-living former officers when in fact their above-and-beyond deeds "witnessed" by sycophants were actually performed by grunts.

		The Medal of Honor is the highest military award for bravery that can be conferred on a member of the American armed forces.
		Because it was the only military medal in existence and the criteria for the award were rather broad, the Medal of Honor was not bestowed very selectively during its early history.
		To ensure that only the "bravest of the brave" were awarded the Medal of Honor, the armed services established other medals to recognize courageous acts that did not necessarily warrant the nation's highest award.

	COLD WAR MEDAL - Topic Powered by Groupee Community
		In our effort to secure medallic recognition for the brave men and women who fought and won our nation's longest war, we are working arduously with members of Congress to secure inclusion of a provision for the Cold War Victory Medal in the National Defense Authorization Act for 2006.
		With that being said, the Cold War Medal, in and of itself, is still a noble goal, the current certificate is a joke and insult to veterans and is NOT a military award.
		DoD argued that the significance and prestige of existing awards would be lessened by a generic medal or ribbon, yet large numbers of generic ribbons have been created by DoD since 1980, without concern that they would lessen the prestige of medals for Korean or Vietnam service.
