  Speaker 12: Suspense memo on medals interesting information about our military awards
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: and decorations. For almost the first half century of its existence,
• 9:13
  Speaker 12: from eighteen sixty two till nineteen o four, the original
• 9:17
  Speaker 12: design of the Medal of Honor was identical for both
• 9:19
  Speaker 12: the Army and Navy, a five pointed star with a
• 9:23
  Speaker 12: large medallion in the center showing the Goddess of Wisdom Minerva,
• 9:27
  Speaker 12: warding off the figure of discord. The Navy Medal of
• 9:31
  Speaker 12: Honor hung suspended from its ribbon by a small anchor,
• 9:34
  Speaker 12: the Army Medal of Honor by an eagle resting on
• 9:37
  Speaker 12: crossed cannons. Originally, the ribbon was the same for both
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: branches of service, thirteen vertical stripes of red and white
• 9:46
  Speaker 12: topped with a blue border. In nineteen o four, the
• 9:50
  Speaker 12: Army changed its medal to the present design, with just
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: the head profile of Minerva in the center of a
• 9:56
  Speaker 12: smaller star, backed with a green enamel laurel reef. In
• 10:00
  Speaker 12: nineteen thirteen, the Navy changed its Medal of Honor's service ribbon,
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: and in nineteen nineteen made an additional change resulting in
• 10:09
  Speaker 12: the present day design five white stars on a field
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: of blue. The Medal of Honor to day, as in
• 10:16
  Speaker 12: the past, remains the highest military decoration that can be
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: earned by an American serviceman for devotion and valor above
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: and beyond the call of duty. It is an inspiring
