Soldiers Medal

        The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces of the United States, or of a friendly foreign nation who while serving in any capacity with the Army of the United States, distinguished him/herself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy.

        The same degree of heroism is required as for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross.

        The performance must have involved personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life under conditions not involving conflict with an armed enemy.

        Awards will not be made solely on the basis of having saved a life.

     A bronze oak leaf cluster is added to the ribbon to denote each subsequent award.

     A silver oak leaf cluster is added to the ribbon to denote the 5th, 10th, etc.
