General
The Municipal Medal of Valor was officially established by royal decree on 28 August 2021.
The Medal of Valor is awarded by the Municipal Assembly, following the advice of the Minister of Defense or designated military commanders, to any military personnel serving in or with the Sovereign Ameristralian Defence Forces who have demonstrated exceptional distinction. These exceptional acts of distinction can occur in various situations:
- Engaging in conflict with an enemy of Ameristralia.
- Participating in military operations alongside opposing foreign forces.
The actions recognised by the Medal of Valor must exhibit the highest degree of bravery and courage, surpassing the requirements of the Conspicuous Bravery Medal. Recipients of this prestigious award have showcased exceptional heroism and distinguished themselves through their remarkable actions.
History
On 28 August 2021, the visionary then-Sovereign Lord Mayor of Ameristralia, David, introduced the concept of the Municipal Medal of Valor to the esteemed Municipal Assembly. The purpose of this proposal was to recognize and honour Ameristralian combatants who had displayed exceptional bravery and distinction in the line of duty. Recognizing the significance of this award, the Municipal Assembly wholeheartedly approved the Municipal Medal of Valor as the highest military honour in Ameristralia.
Originally, the medal featured the Ameristralian Coat of Arms, which was in use from September 2021 to April 2022. However, as part of a comprehensive revamp of Ameristralia's orders, decorations, and awards, significant changes were made to the design. In April 2022, a new design was introduced, removing the former Coat of Arms from the medals. The military medals were redesigned to have a uniform appearance, with shared traits across all decorations.
Prior to the redesign, the Municipal Medal of Valor was presented with a silver clasp attached to a rectangular ribbon. However, with the introduction of the new design, the medal underwent significant changes in its appearance and presentation.
This revamp of orders, decorations, and awards reflects Ameristralia's commitment to ensuring a cohesive and distinguished recognition system for its military personnel. The Municipal Medal of Valor stands as a symbol of honour and respect for the remarkable acts of courage and valour displayed by Ameristralian combatants.
