VT Distinguished Service Medal

The Vermont Distinguished Service Medal Ribbon is officially hallmarked by the U.S. Institute of Heraldry. Vermont’s highest decoration is awarded for outstanding meritorious service by any member of the Vermont National Guard in a duty of great responsibility. The achievement should have been of such magnitude that it clearly places the individual above peers. On January 3rd, 1955 this award was authorized by GO 1. On the left and right ends of the ribbon has red and yellow 1/16 inch stripes, with the middle having light blue patches measuring 17/32 inch and another yellow stripe that is 1/16 inch wide. Vermont Distinguished Service 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.
