The Coast Guard Medal is not a "civilian" award as alleged by GeoSwan.  The U.S.C.G. is an active duty military service, the same as the Army, Navy, or Air Force.  The award, as clearly shown by the WP article, is a military award, that is just barely above the Purple Heart.  Way too many people get this, and the other services' equivalent award, for it to be viable for notability by itself.  I argue all that time that  is just an essay and I still believe that--but this award is way too common to confer notability, regardless of assertions to the contrary
