Regulation Antarctica Service Military medal.

The Antarctica Service Medal was established by the United States Congress in 1960. The decoration was intended as a military award to replace several commemorative decorations which had been issued for previous Antarctica expeditions from 1928 to 1941.

We offer medal mounting. Our mounted medals will make you stand out from everyone else and will have them asking where you had yours mounted. We will help you look your very best!
