Book overview

If you or someone in your family ever served in the United States Navy, you cannot afford to be without this book.

Medals and Ribbons of the U.S. Navy is the **only complete, full-color reference ever published in America-researched, written, and printed in the United States-for the Navy's 250th Anniversary. It answers every question about Navy medals, ribbons, and awards, from the Revolution to today's Arctic Service Medal. No guessing. No confusion. Every medal, every ribbon, every device is here-explained and illustrated in detail.

Since World War II, more than 4 million Americans have served as sailors. Add their wives, husbands, children, and parents, and that's over 10 million Americans with a direct stake in Navy service. This is their book. If you care about honoring their sacrifice, if you value the traditions of the Navy, if you want your children and grandchildren to understand what those medals mean-you need this book.

Anyone who ignores this legacy, who shrugs and walks past these medals without knowing their meaning, risks letting history slip away. Don't make that mistake. Own the only book that preserves the Navy's awards legacy completely, correctly, and with the dignity it deserves.

Honor your Navy. Honor your family. Honor America.
