The War department made no effort to actually send these medals to veterans unless the veteran wrote his military service branch and requested them. Of the 16 million World War II veterans very few actually received this medal. Learn the story of the ribbon, the medal and why it was awarded and how you can honor your veteran by obtaining it.
