Ira C. Eaker Mini Medal Design

[James Shaw]

Mine must be really old.. I remember it being bronze.  I'll have to pull it out a look at it.

If it is I would really like to get a pic of it.

[James Shaw]

I think the design is sharp. I do have to agree on one item, it does look like there are two cadet major diamonds instead of a cadet lieutenant colonel. Other than that little change, run with it.

The design with the two diamonds made it through for the submission to the NB.

I love being a Historian!!

Congrats!

Anything you need us to do to help get this through?  I will let my Wing CC know about it and make sure he supports it.

Everyone who supports this can let their wing cc or regional folks know that they like the idea. I do not feel that it will be a problem. It is an allready existing award and would be easy to support.

My Wing CC is on board.

Once stamped, can they be issued based on number to the recipients?

Mine is #0! 

Good looking, can't wait to replace my Earhart medal.

Looks incredible James!  I've been waiting for a long time to see this one happen.  Thanks for all your work and to anyone else who helped push it off the ground!

Only if you take it to the mall engraving shop!

I like the idea of having it engraved. My wife had my full size SMV engraved with

Major James L. Shaw Jr.
          08/11/07.

Shes a great woman.

Usually a miniature medal is so small and the medal so cheap that engraving is next to impossible.

I have seen the full text of the Lord's Prayer engraved on the back of a dime.  So, its not impossible.

A medal made of Aluminum is not as hard as a silver nickle composite

[cnitas]

I suppose you could use a die punch and stamp your number on the back.

[SilverEagle2]

I did not imply that I wanted a number stamped on the back.

I simply wanted to be issued mine first. (In a perfect 0 base world that is)

When I mentioned stamped, I meant imprinted/cut/made.

That was all.

NOW you need to do one for the wright brothers milestone

[SilverEagle2]

So...what is the status of this medal? Been a while since it was discussed and some would like to see it complete.

Seems the process for the "Achievement Award" was much shorter from proposal to reality.

[swamprat86]

I thought it was approved when presented at the board.

[AlphaSigOU]

I thought it was already approved... someone might want to check on Vanguard to see if they've already started production on it. Sometimes they make the initial run and fail to notify the membership.

[SilverEagle2]

Vanguard has nothing on it. (According to the person I spoke with.)

Lazy bastidges!
