Jtshombre nailed it.

That’s a cool find, and I’m guessing it’s an older one, probably WWII.

Here’s how many have been awarded since it’s inception on Nov 15 1943.



El Salvador: 69
Invasion of Grenada: 3,534
Invasion of Panama: 8,031

Thanks for the ID. The owner said he didn’t know who it belonged to. It’s gonna look good on display at my home.

Wow. That’s great info. I didn’t realize they were that uncommon! I wonder if the design changed or if it stayed the same. If it changed maybe the conflict it was awarded could be nailed down. Thank you much. ����
