dg0223 Posted December 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2010 We've been ripping some of our less-aesthetically pleasing awards (believe me, I would have probably voted for the Humanitarian Service Medal as well), so, in the spirit of Christmas, let's list some of the nicer, prettier awards. Excluding the Medal of Honor, which I would assume would make everyone's top, let's do a top 5 list. I may have already done this in another thread, but I want to balance out the negative karma of the ugly medals with nice looking ones 1. Silver Star 2. Navy Cross 3. Distinguished Flying Cross 4. Purple Heart 5. WWI Victory I could probably do a top 10, but I think it's more interesting to try to squeeze 5 into a list. Feel free to post your list, or just one, or comment on my list, whatever you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
