HR NCOs have also been celebrated for decorated service throughout the Army‘s long and distinguished history, to current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. In recognition of their commitment to service and willingness to make great sacrifices on behalf of our Nation, our Army, Commanders, Soldiers and their Families, we dedicate this edition of 1775 to the ―Year of the NCO‖.

This award allows chapter presidents to recognize outstanding members of their respective chapters with a distinctive award that can be worn in the same manner as a Horatio Gates Medal.
