  • Medals of the Spanish and Philippine War Era
    Medals of the Spanish and Philippine War Era By Gary Robbins Surnames included: Lawton, Robbins You’ve finally gone to visit your cousin after her parents died. She leads you up the steep stairs to the attic to show you some cool stuff and you spot a dusty old trunk that once belonged to Great Uncle Frank. You think “Ah ha!”. You dash across the creaking floor, open the clasp and slowly squeak it open. Inside, you spot a folded uniform on the left and some strange medals protruding from a yellowed envelope on the right. You’ve never seen these before so you hold them up to the light and think, “What’s this all about?” In the late 19th and early 20th century, a combination of US patriotism, civic pride, social need and increasing leisure time created an environment ripe for fraternal organizations. The Western frontier closed and Americans settled into more stable lives. Acts of valor, previously felt to be an ordinary part of life, became extraordinary, rare and elevated to heights above more mundane accomplishments of modern civilization. Many organizations and societies came into existence and fulfilled the needs of many Americans to associate with others of similar interests and experiences. Some were simply social such as Elks, or civic such as Rotary, while others centered around patriotism and military service such as the DAR and VFW. Some of these organizations arose out of the Civil War but many more arose out of the Spanish War era (1898-1902). Many of these organizations were self-aggrandizing and bestowed esoteric titles, roles, honors, prizes and awards.
