	Awards of the American military - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		The Aviator Badge was awarded to those members of the United States Army Air Corps (and later the U.S. Air Force) who were qualified as pilots.
		The Command-at-Sea Pin was a decoration issued by the United States Navy to those officers who had qualified to serve as captains of a naval combat vessel.
		However, the United States of America is said to have existed until at least the 2050s, possibly much later (well into the 2150s or perhaps even the 23rd and 24th centuries).

		The United States Navy (USN) is the branch of the United States armed forces responsible for naval operations.
		The United States Constitution, ratified in 1789, empowered Congress "to provide and maintain a navy." Acting on this authority, Congress ordered the construction and manning of six frigates; one of the original six, USS Constitution, familiarly known as "Old Ironsides," survives to this day.
		Current plans in the United States Navy call for keeping the battleships on the NVR until the naval surface fire support gun and missile development programs achieve operational capability, which is expected to occur sometime between 2003 and 2008.

		We discussed the earlier donation of the military aviator’s badge and then, quite unexpectedly, she mentioned that they had located the original military aviators certificate from Dec. 19, 1913 which accompanied the presentation of the badge.
		Thanks to her and the rest of the family’s thoughtfulness, we were able to reunite after many decades the badge and certificate.
