It was also struck of bronze and is 32mm in diameter. On the obverse is a scene of Red Square and the Kremlin on V-Day with fireworks in the sky. Below this is the badge of the Order of the Patriotic War with the dates 1941 - 1995 and laurel leaves on both sides of the badge. The eight line inscription repeats the name of the medal and there are laurel branches on both sides. The 24mm ribbon is half red and half black and yellow stripes, the former ribbon of the Order of St. George. The certificate is signed by President Yeltsin and has a serial number.

  • General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing Was Born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860
    General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing was born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860. He graduated from West Point and went on to fight in the Indian wars as well as the Spanish- American War and the Philippines insurrection. In World War I, he commanded the American Expeditionary Force in Europe as General of the Armies, helping bring an end to the war. He quietly retired after the war and was buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Early Life: John J. Pershing was the first of eight children born to John F. Pershing and Anne Elizabeth Thompson Pershing of Laclede, MO. John’s father was a prosperous businessman, working as a merchant during the Civil War and later owning a general store in Laclede and serving as postmaster. The family lost most of its assets during the panic of 1873, and John’s father was forced to take a job as a traveling salesman while John worked on the family farm. After high school graduation, John J. Pershing took a job teaching African American students at Prairie Mound School. He saved his money and then went to Missouri Norman School (now Truman State University) for two years. Though he grew up in an era of Civil War heroes, young John had no desire for a military career. But when an invitation to take the exam for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point came his way, he applied and received the top grade. Though not a great student (he would place 30th in a class of 77) he was elected class president, and his superiors noticed his leadership qualities.

  • 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.
