Description

Offered here is a historic U.S. military service medal, established by an Act of Congress on July 6, 1945, to honor the men and women who served during one of the most pivotal periods in world history. This medal was awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who served honorably between December 7, 1941, and December 31, 1946, encompassing the full span of America’s involvement in World War II and the immediate postwar era.

The obverse of the medal features a powerful and symbolic design: a full-length figure of Liberation, standing triumphantly with a rising sun in the background—an image representing victory, hope, and the dawn of peace following global conflict. The artistry captures the spirit of sacrifice and triumph that defined the wartime generation.

The reverse is equally meaningful, inscribed with the words “FREEDOM FROM FEAR AND WANT” and “FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RELIGION,” referencing the Four Freedoms articulated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These ideals—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—became guiding principles for the Allied cause and the postwar world.

This medal stands as a lasting tribute to the courage, service, and values of those who answered the call during World War II. It is a highly collectible piece of U.S. military history, sought after by collectors of wartime memorabilia, service medals, and presidential-era artifacts, and serves as a meaningful reminder of the freedoms secured through sacrifice.

Comes complete in its original, clearly labeled box and identifying the date of production. The producer, Medallic Art Company (MACO) was a prestigious private mint renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic excellence, producing some of the most important medals in American history, including the Pulitzer Prize, Newbery Medal, and numerous Presidential Inaugural medals.
