NY Recruiting Medal

The New York Recruiting Medal Ribbon is officially hallmarked by the U.S. Institute of Heraldry. This ribbon is awarded for securing the initial appointment/enlistment of three new members for any unit of the organized militia by any member. Individuals appointed from enlisted status are not considered new members, and credit will not be given for reappointments or reenlistments. This recruiting ribbon was apparently authorized sometime during the early 1920’s, but the exact date is unknown. The ribbon is a multicolored pattern and is ready to be worn on an official uniform. New York Recruiting Medal 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.
