- Service medal
Unreferenced date September 2009 A service medal is a military award generally of the lowest degree. A service medal is awarded to a member of the military who joins the military, or is already serving, during a designated time period. No other requirement is needed to obtain the service medal other than a person must simply be a member of the armed forces. Campaign medal Campaign medal s are similar to service medals and are sometimes even referred to as service medals , however the main difference is that a campaign medal is awarded to a military member who participates in a military operation whereas a service medal is blanket awarded to everyone in the military regardless of campaign credit. USA An example of a service medal currently issued by the United States armed forces is the National Defense Service Medal which is presently automatically awarded to a service member upon joining the military usually after completion of basic training . The Global War on Terrorism Service Medal is another decoration which is presently awarded to any active duty member of the United States military who has served after the September 11 attacks after ninety days of service.

The decoration was awarded to those personnel who were assigned in the fleet of Rear Admiral William T. Sampson during the Spanish American War and who engaged in combat operations in the waters of the West Indies and Cuba . Campaign clasp s were authorized for wear on the Sampson Medal, showing various battles and the ship name which had participated. When worn as a ribbon on a military uniform, there were no devices authorized. The Sampson Medal was declared a commemorative medal shortly after its issuance and never appeared on official U.S. Navy award precedence charts. The decoration was nevertheless worn on active duty uniforms, typically following the Spanish Campaign Medal . The decoration was issued under the same criteria as the West Indies Campaign Medal , and U.S. Navy regulations prohibited service members from receiving both medals for the same period of duty. The Sampson Medal was also known as the West Indies Naval Campaign Medal , not to be confused with the West Indies Campaign Medal which was a separate award. A similar commemorative decoration was the Dewey Medal , considered senior to the Sampson Medal. commonscat Sampson Medal United States Sampson Medal References reflist Category Spanish American War Category United States campaign medals ... more details
