US Air Force Commander's Award for Public Service Medal, set.
The set consists of ONE full size medal
and a
service ribbon.
Awarded to citizens or entities (groups, business firms or organizations) not employed by the U.S. Air Force, who assisted with major unit projects or helped a unit reach major milestones, or who provided support to the base/unit over a sustained period of time. Service must clearly demonstrate specific examples of how the citizen's dedication and commitment significantly contributed to the improvement of conditions for base personnel, facilities, or mission. Air Force policy expressly prohibits awards to individuals or entities in a commercial or profit-making relationship (contractors) with the DoD. The nomination must contain comments the services cited were voluntary, performed as a public service, or motivated by patriotism with no implication to remuneration; and that the person recommended had no commercial or profitmaking relationship with the Air Force.
Prior to the establishment of this medal and it's higher ranking companion, the Distinguished Public Service Medal, the Air Force had only one public service award. They used the Exceptional Civilian Service Medal, which is intended to be a Civil Service award. When awarded to private citizens the name of the medal was changed to the Air Force Exceptional Public Service Medal. The medal was EXACTLY THE SAME, only the certificate that accompanies the medal was different. Needless to say, using the same medal for two different purposes, and giving it two names, has caused a great deal of confusion among collectors. The Air Force remedied the situation in 2006, by creating the Commander's Public Service Medal, and the Distinguished Public Service Medal.
Service ribbons are provided WITHOUT mounting devices! If you need service ribbon mounts, please contact me prior to purchasing this item.
