Order of The Maquis Medal Suggestion

I wanted to run a creation of mine by the Awards Department for your consideration...

OOTM-Medal-Ribbon.jpg



I would like to designate a "full" medal of the Order of The Maquis award. As the current Awards policy stands, only Awards that actually be created may be considered. Using the ribbon of the Philippine Defense Medal, with both white vertical stripes colored black, and the US Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, with the center blue portion colored/painted dark red to match the ribbon; I believe this sufficiently alters the original awards from Military Service awards; while maintaining the current award devices we use, as well as make it available for "full size wear."

The ribbon above the medal is placed into the image as if it were being presented in a presentation case for visual sizing, etc.

Respectfully submitted...

Ootm medal2.jpg

I thought what we have depicted is a "full" medal of the Order of The Maquis award.
I might be incorrect when Gary & I discussed and initiated the Photodome project, but I believe I authorized the current depiction as the official Full Ribbon (with the Awards Dept's blessing) back when I was still IC.(?)

It does meet all our criteria. This picture was created from pieces available on the U.S. market.
It is capable of being constructed.


  • It utilizes the same Philippines ribbon material we've always used for the ribbon construction.
  • the center is (obviously) our OotM Photodome pin.
  • the Medal Background is readily availalbe from one of the Echelon/Rank/Photodome vendors we've used in the past.
  • We wouldn't need to find someone who sells the US Air Force Distinguished Service Medal.
    (is the US Air Force Distinguished Service Medal available for everyone to purchase?)

While Sam's version is flashier looking than what's on the page, Why reinvent something we already (literally) have?
