October 2014 - Argghhh!

Today is another one of those busy days for the Medal, where you can see the change over time of the criteria for the award. In sharp relief in fact.

There are 4 Medals awarded for action on this day in history, starting with the Indian Wars

...of the following award. The Auld Soldier, AKA "Dad," will be inducted into the Missouri University ROTC Hall of Fame on 1 November, 2014. Ceremony at Crowder Hall, UMC Campus, with another presentation at half-time during the Mizzzou-Kentucky football game. Good.

Since I needed a cat-free area, I have taken over the guest bedroom via the expedient of getting a loft bed for the Prodigal Grandson, and the rest of you will just have to find hotels or sleep on cots on the deck. I'm going to get my hand back into modeling. First project, a Soviet Object 279 . I admit, I do find bending tiny pieces of bras s and trying to attach them to be very tedious. My brain remembers lots of things, but my fingers have seemingly forgotten most of the skillz. I don't...

Breech on HMS Belfast. Well worth your time next time you are in London.

After taking a week or so off from having large numbers of awards, the Medal steps out on this day in history, with 23 Medals awarded, most of them during one battle in the Civil War, along with two from the Philippine Insurrection, and a new one, awarded in 2014, for actions in Korea. A good day, in that there are no posthumous awards.
