MI Medal for Valor

The Michigan Medal of Valor is officially hallmarked by the U.S. Institute of Heraldry. This decoration is awarded to recognize a conspicuous act of courage, gallantry, or valor by any member of the organized militia. The act may have been performed in any capacity, but must have been one displaying personal bravery or self-sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty, so conspicuous as to clearly distinguished the individual for gallantry and intrepidity above comrades, and must have involved personal risk of life or performance of more than ordinarily hazardous service. On August 2nd, 1970 statutory authorization for this award was provided in SB 1520, Act 164. This ribbon comes in a solid gray color and is ready to be worn on uniforms.
