Purple Heart with lapel pin IN BOX, Bronze Star and other medals WW2 original

Purple Heart with lapel pin IN BOX, Bronze Star and other medals WW2 original

I took several steps to do the right thing and return them to the family or vet and all were unsuccessful. I made multiple attempts to contact the organization Purple Hearts Reunited, I never received any return calls or emails. I tried to research the veteran’s name which is on the back of the purple heart, I was unable to find a relation. I know there are many. All of the medals are in excellent condition, several are in the original boxes and as I said the heart is engraved on the back with the soldier’s name. These are original, these are not props or reproductions. A United States soldier was either wounded or gave his life in combat and assuming all of these medals were awarded to him, he was quite busy serving his country. I can provide additional pictures if needed. In this group there is the authentic, engraved Purple Heart in the original box with the additional lapel pin and the smaller pins. A Bronze Star with the additional lapel pin. Service medals from the European African Middle Eastern (with original box, lapel pin and additional stars), WW2 (with original box), Asiatic Pacific, Vietnam, Southwest Asia with additional lapel pin. 7 medals total, 3 with boxes and 4 with the lapel pins. The Tom Mix patch was just something that was in one of the medal boxes, so it stays with the medals.

ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES ARMY SOLDIER’S MEDAL FOR VALOR, SLOT BROOCH, PIN-BACK RIBBON BAR, LAPEL PIN & TITLED LEATHERETTE CASE. RIBBON DRAPE & BAR TESTED U. NEGATIVE AS SHOWN IN PHOTO #12. The Soldier’s Medal is an individual decoration of the United States Army. It was introduced as Section 11 of the Air Corps Act, passed by the Congress of the United States on July 2, 1926. The criteria for the medal are: 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 himself or herself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. A need to recognize acts of heroism in 1922 resulted in the War Department’s issuing orders for acts of bravery during peacetime. This led to an Act of Congress Public Law 446-69th Congress, July 2, 1926 44 Stat. 780 which established the Soldiers Medal for acts of heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. The Secretary of War directed that the Quartermaster General prepare and submit appropriate designs of the Soldiers Medal per letter signed by The Adjutant General dated 11 August 1926. The Soldier’s Medal is considered to be equivalent to the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, Airman’s Medal, and the Coast Guard Medal. The first Soldier’s Medals were awarded on October 17, 1927 to John F. Burns and James P. Martin for their heroism during a fire and to James K. Wilson and Cleophas C. Burnett for saving people from drowning. The period of time when the most Soldier’s Medals were awarded was World War II (at least hundreds were awarded). The distinguishing criterion for awarding the Soldier’s Medal, per Army Regulation 600-8-22, para 3-13, is 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. It is the highest honor a soldier can receive for an act of valor in a non-combat situation, held to be equal to or greater than the level which would have justified an award of the Distinguished Flying Cross had the act occurred in combat. Any enlisted American servicemember who is eligible for retirement pay will receive an increase of 10 percent in retirement pay, if the level of valor was equal to that which would earn the Distinguished Service Cross. Additional awards of the medal are denoted by oak leaf clusters worn on the suspension and service ribbon of the medal. The bronze medal is issued as a 1 3/8 inch wide Bronze octagon with an eagle displayed, standing on a fasces, between two groups of stars of six and seven, above the group of six a spray of leaves. On the reverse is a shield paly of 13 pieces, on the chief the letters US, supported by sprays of laurel and oak, around the upper edge the inscription SOLDIERS MEDAL and across the face the words FOR VALOR. In the base is a panel for the name of the recipient to be engraved. The medal is suspended from the ribbon by a rectangular-shaped metal loop with corners rounded. The ribbon is 1 3/8 inches wide and consists of the following stripes: 3/8 inch Ultramarine Blue 67118 on each side and the center containing 13 White and Red stripes of equal width (7 White 67101 and 6 Old Glory Red 67156).
