Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Knight. Organizations Are Admitted to the Order Without Grade The order is awarded to members of the Brazilian Army for distinguished services to the nation, or to those who have distinguished themselves in the exercise of their profession. It is also awarded to members of the ground forces of foreign nations who enhance the respect of the Brazilian nation, particularly the Army. It may also be given to Brazilian or foreign citizens for distinguished services to the Army. The order can also be conferred on military units, to be displayed on the flags or standards. The order consists of the five traditional grades: grand cross, grand officer, commander, officer and knight. Organizations are admitted to the order without grade. The badge of the order (fig 4) consists of a cross modelled on the traditional cross of Aviz. It has four equal arms edged in silver or gold and enamelled in white. In the center is a disc upon which appears the head of the Republic, with the inscription "Merito Militar" in gold on a green enamelled ring. The reverse bears the inscription "Republica dos Estados Unidos do Brasil 1934" in gold, surrounding concentric circles of green, yellow and blue. The breast star of the grand cross is gold, while that of the grand officer is silver. The sash and ribbons of the order are of green watered silk, with side and edge stripes of white. Order of Aeronautical Merit The Order of Aeronautical Merit was established by Decree- Law Number 5961 of 1 November 1943. The order is awarded to military members of the Brazilian Air Force who have performed notable services to the nation or who have distinguished themselves in the exercise of their profession. It may also be awarded to military members of foreign air forces who have brought credit to the Brazilian nation, and particularly the Air Force. Brazilian or foreign civilians who have performed distinguished services to the Brazilian Air Force may also receive the order. It may also may ]0 be conferred on military units, whether Brazilian or foreign, for services that merit recognition by the Brazilian nation and, in particular, the Air Force. The order is awarded in five grades. When the ribbon alone is worn, grades above knight are shown by rosettes. Officers wear plain rosettes, commanders wear rosettes with a bronze representation of the order, grand officers have a silver representation of the badge, and grand cross recipients wear a gold representation of the cross in the rosette. The sash and ribbon of the order is blue watered silk with five thin, evenly spaced white stripes. The badge of the order (fig 5) is a cross potent, edged in silver or gold and enamelled white. In the center is a medallion set over a four-bladed propeller. The center of the medallion carries the winged sword emblem of the Air Force and is surrounded by a blue enamelled ring bearing the inscription "Merito Aeronautico". The medallion on the reverse of the badge carries the green, yellow and blue star of Brazil surrounded by the inscription "Republica dos Estados Unidos do Brasil" Order of Rio Branco The Order of Rio Branco was established by Law Number 51410 of 14 February 1962 and regulated by decree Number 834 of 3 April 1962. Decree Number 61295 of 6 September 1967 permitted the wear of this order on military uniforms. The order is awarded to those who, for any reason, perform acts meriting recognition by the government, most often in the diplomatic arena. The order may be conferred on individuals or institutions, Brazilian or foreign, that, for their services or exceptional merit, deserve recognition. The order has five grades: grand cross, grand officer, commander, officer, and knight, plus a silver merit medal of the order. This merit medal is inscribed "Medalha do Merito do Rio Branco". It can be awarded, by decree of the chancellor of the order and recommendation of the vice chancellor, to reward Figure 5. Commander’s badge of the Order of Aeronautical Merit Figure 6.

  • Medal of Honor: History and Issues
    Medal of Honor: History and Issues David F. Burrelli Specialist in Military Manpower Policy Barbara Salazar Torreon Information Research Specialist September 5, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 95-519 Medal of Honor: History and Issues Summary The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award for bravery. It is awarded by the President in the name of Congress. For this reason, it is often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. Since it was first presented in 1863, the medal has been awarded 3,507 times to 3,488 recipients. Nineteen individuals have been double recipients of the award. Recipients of the Medal of Honor are afforded a number of benefits as a result of this award. Since the award’s inception, the laws and regulations that apply to it have changed. In certain cases, the award has been rescinded. Six rescinded awards have been reinstated. On a number of occasions, legislation has been offered to waive certain restrictions and to encourage the President to award the Medal of Honor to particular individuals. Generally speaking, this type of legislation is rarely enacted. In a very limited number of cases, the medal has been awarded outside the legal restrictions concerning time limits. These cases are often based on technical errors, lost documents or eyewitness accounts, or other factors that justify reconsideration. These cases, however, represent the exception and not the rule.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • The Journey of a New Mason
    The Berkshire Mentoring Programme The Journey of a new Mason Stage 3 AFTER PASSING Published by The Provincial Grand Lodge of Berkshire JONM.Stg3.Sept 14 - 1 - The Second Degree Tracing Board JONM.Stg3.Sept 14 - 2 - JONM.Stg3.Sept 14 - 3 - FOREWORD Having completed your Second Degree ceremony of Passing in Freemasonry, you are more than half way through your journey to becoming a Master Mason. We hope you have enjoyed both ceremonies so far and that your understanding of Freemasonry is somewhat deeper than it was initially. We hope that the previous booklet in the series of “The Journey of a New Mason”, Stage 2, After Initiation’, was helpful in answering some of those initial questions you may have had following your Initiation. You have probably had several more questions since then and certainly many more following your ‘Passing’ recently. This next booklet of the series, Stage 3, After Passing; will continue to develop your Masonic knowledge during your journey as a new mason, answering some of those questions you have encountered and enlightening you on more of the finer points of Freemasonry thus far. As before, there may be questions which may not be covered in this booklet. Your Personal Mentor should be able to answer any that are not, when he discusses the subjects in the booklet with you. However, you can be forgiven if you think there is a long way to go. As was stressed at the end of the last booklet, the subject of Freemasonry is so extensive, and so challenging to the enquiring mind, that you will never stop learning.

  • Beginners Called the Pleasures of English Coin-Collecting. by Far the Most Important of Mr
    OBITUARY MR. J. S. SHIRLEY-FOX, R.E.A. By the death of Mr. Shirley-Fox, which occurred on 3 June 1939, the Society has lost one of its most enthusiastic and lovable members. His contributions to this Journal were as follows: . Numismatic History of the Reigns of Edward I, II, and III (Vols vi-x). Written in conjunction with his brother H. B. Earle-Fox. The Cross as a Mint-Mark (Vol. v). Die-making in the Twelfth Century (Vol. vi). An unpublished halfpenny of John Baliol (vol. xxii) .. Besides these he made various contributions to the Numismatic Chronicle and wrote an admirable book for beginners called The Pleasures of English Coin-Collecting. By far the most important of Mr. Shirley-Fox's papers was "The Numismatic History of the reigns of Edward I, II, and III". This set a new standard in medieval numis­ matics, and the thoroughness and excellence of the work which he and his brother did in this connexion can be gauged from the fact that, although twenty-five years have elapsed since the last part of this work was published, subsequent discoveries have almost always gone to confirm the deductions then drawn, imd even of these there have been comparatively few. It was for this paper that he was awarded the Sanford Saltus Medal of this Society. Jointly with his brother he was also a medallist of the Roval Numis- matic Society. ~ Mr. Shirley-Fox specialized in the period from Edward I to Henry VIII, and in the course of many years put together a collection which for interest from the student's point of view ranked high among the private collections in this country.
