  Philippine Campaign Medal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philippine Campaign Medal is a military decoration of the United States Armed Forces which was created to denote service of U.S. military members in the Philippine-American War between the years of 1898 and 1913.
The Philippine Campaign Medal was a separate decoration from the Philippine Congressional Medal, which was an Army medal awarded for special services rendered during the Philippine-American War.
The medal was authorized to any Army service member who had served in campaigns ashore, on the Philippine Islands, from February 4, 1899 to a date which was then yet to be determined.

 Philippine Congressional Medal
The Philippine Congressional Medal was established by Act of Congress (Public Law 360, 59th Congress) on June 29, 1906, and implemented by War Department General Orders Number 125 of July 9, 1906.
As this medal was voted by Congress to be given to soldiers "who followed the flag" in the Philippine Islands "under unusual circumstances," it seemed appropriate to Millet to employ the symbolism of a color guard bearing the American flag.
Because this medal was given to members of the Army, the presence of soldiers on the obverse clearly represents the military character of their service.

This difference in the citations illustrates the evolution of the Medal from its distinction as the only medal given for courage during the Civil War to its recognition as the ultimate decoration for bravery in later conflicts.
