When servicemembers serve, they aren't the only ones who serve. Their families serve also, and usually the separation is hardest on the children. Homecomings are joyous moments for military families, but until recently, the service and sacrifice made by the children of deployed troops went largely unrecognized.

That has all changed here, thanks to the creation of the Military Child's Medal. This medal is a gift they will treasure and tell their friends about. Ideal to recognize their contributions. The medal, itself, measures 1.5 inches point to point is approximately 3 mm thick and has a two tone finish, the drape is a "regulation" size drape. Back of the medal is a smooth polished surface in the silver color and is ideal for engraving.

There is NO "issuing criteria" beyond that of a loving parent that wishes to recognize the contributions of the child that loves them and who sacrifices just like their parent while the parent is serving their country.
