message: Perhaps there should be an entry on this list regarding the National Maritime Medal of Valor.  It was created, and awarded, to the Captain of the Maersk Alabama for the action this past April.  Here is a reference verifying that it was awarded by the National Maritime Center, a United States Coast Guard institution.

thread_title:  National Maritime Medal of Valor 

message: I added this new DOD-level subsection in order to group together the Secretary of Defense Medal for Valor and Secretary of Defense Medal for the Defense of Freedom, which are both awarded for sacrifice or heroism. Neither is restricted to LMER-serviced employees, referring to the Labor and Management Employee Relations Division, and both are comprised of red, white, and blue colors. The Award Eligibility for the Medal for Valor is "LMER-serviced activities," while for the Medal for the Defense of Freedom it's LMER-serviced employees and non-Defense personnel who are otherwise qualified based on their involvement in Department of Defense activities. 72.95.119.238 (talk) 03:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I put Department of State under this new heading and added other Foreign Affairs agencies and their respective awards under the broader title, much like the subsection for US Intelligence Community.  Satre21 (talk) 07:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have to disagree with your change in formatting.  Within the US Federal Government the United States Intelligence Community is a collection of intelligence organization with it's own director and supporting bureaucracy.  The way I understand the term US Foreign Affairs Agencies, they are typically subordinate to the State Department or another US Cabinet level department.  If that is a correct interpretation, I would change it back as State Department is a more accurate heading.  Cheers.  EricSerge (talk) 15:19, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Foreign Affairs Agencies are not subordinate to State at the agency level.  Maybe at an embassy the Chief of Mission (AMbassador, etc.) are State and other agency employees are subordinate to him/her as the President's rep.  I'd tend to favor the previous layout.

replies: text: Off the subject, but when will you State Dept guys be able to provide a reliable source on the new awards that are being written about?  Something like an updated version of 3 FAM 4820 HONOR AWARDS.  Verifiyability is one of the central tennets of Wikipedia.  Cheers.  EricSerge (talk) 01:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This article currently doesn't list the "Coast Guard Medal" with the other Coast Guard medals.  Geo Swan (talk) 23:25, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The Coast Guard is one of the five branches of the Armed forces of the United States.  The USCG has its own page the Awards and decorations of the United States Coast Guard, it is also found on Awards and decorations of the United States military.  Cheers.

thread_title: [[Coast Guard Medal]]?

message: The Presidential Meritorious Service Award is currently not listed, nor is there an article for it. There are enough mentions of it being awarded to FSOs at state.gov and elsewhere to believe that it exists, but I can't find defining law, images, etc. Any ideas?
(Also posted at . Sorry for the dup if you read both pages – they seemed low volume enough to justify it.)

message: The source given for the NSA Exceptional Civilian Service Medal is a broken link, and when I tried to find a better source, nothing came up about this medal except eBay auctions. It is not listed on any Defense Logistics Agency, Office of Personnel Management, National Security Agency/Central Security Service or military website. Is this medal even legitimate? I know of cases of people in the NSA being awarded the National Security Medal, but never the "NSA Exceptional Civilian Service Medal" Oogalee Boogalee (talk) 17:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
