Description

This matte-finish bronze medal from 2023 honors the United States Marine Corps as part of the Armed Forces Medal Program. The bronze composition makes this the most affordable and accessible version of the Marine Corps medal, designed for broad distribution to service members, veterans, and supporters. The matte finish distinguishes this from standard business-strike bronze, providing the same dignified non-reflective surface found on the silver versions. The Marine Corps has maintained its distinctive identity and mission as America's amphibious warfare force for nearly 250 years, with a culture of leadership, discipline, and sacrifice that sets it apart within the American military establishment. Bronze Armed Forces medals are popular gifts for Marines and their families, marking service milestones, retirements, and other occasions. This 2023 issue continues the ongoing program that provides affordable medallic recognition for each branch of the United States Armed Forces.
