I'm just looking for more info on this Medal . Just had dinner with my Step-parents , My Step -Father pulled some old stuff out of a box . Bob said this was his Grandfather's medal , and it's sterling . My Step-dad is in his 80's now , and he was pulling stuff out of boxes to show me his family history . He married my Mom back in 1967 .
I post it here , for more info for him .

Lots of information out there about the organization, but nothing about the name that you are looking for. Is the name you are interested in Frank Heidina? That's what it looked like on the medal. Is the organization still around? You may be able to contact them for more information. I saw that their records up to 2008 are stored in a library in New York.

That medal is great by itself, but the story behind it makes it so much better!
