NM Medal Of Valor

The New Mexico Medal Of Valor Ribbons is officially hallmarked by the U.S. Institute of Heraldry. This award (with palm) is given to any member of the National Guard or SDF for heroism. The MV (without palm) is awarded for performance of an uncommon act of valor, not necessarily at the risk of one’s own life, under circumstances where refraining from such acting would not have subjected the individual to criticism. On March 2nd, 1963 the Medal of Valor was authorized by SB 246, as recorded in Ch 69. The ribbon comes in a white and red pattern from left to right of the ribbon and is ready to be worn on uniform. New Mexico Medal Of Valor Ribbons are made with the highest government standards and are US Military approved. All ribbons of the US Military are made in the USA. Ribbons are unmounted and do not come with a holding bar. To purchase this ribbon for yourself or a family member's shadow box, or display case, we require a DD-214 or other valid proof that this medal was honorably awarded.
