french liberation medal

The French Liberation Medal is a decoration of the French Republic which is issued to any veteran of the Second World War who participated in the European campaigns to liberate France from German occupation between 1944 and 1945. Also known as the Medal for Liberation of France", or the "Medal of Liberated France", the French Liberation Medal was issued extensively to the United States military between 1946 and 1950. The medal was authorized for wear on a military uniform until the 1950s, when the French Liberation Medal adopted the status as a commemorative decoration for civilian wear only. The United States government considers the French Liberation Medal to be a foreign decoration and it is not issued by the U.S. military to veterans of the Second World War. The decoration may be purchased from civilian military insignia vendors or by request from the French Embassy to the United States. See also: Awards and decorations of the United States military
