 Federal Military Commemorative Medals
Numerous military and naval battles and their commanders have been commemorated by medals authorized by Congress, and prior to the use of campaign medals these were virtually the only Federal medals awarded for noteworthy military events.
After the use of campaign and service medals became common, the creation of military commemorative medals by Congress for award to specific individuals diminished, even though they continue to be authorized from time to time.
These medals are very similar to convention campaign and service medals; in fact, they differ from them mostly because they are created by Congress rather than by the military itself.
