Merchant Marine WWII Victory Medal Lapel Pin
This lapel pin represents the Merchant Marine World War II Victory Medal, established on August 8, 1946. It was awarded to officers and crew of the U.S. Merchant Marine who served aboard American-flagged merchant ships for at least 30 days between December 7, 1941, and September 2, 1945, recognizing wartime service across the full span of the conflict.
The full medal's design features a woman standing on the ocean's surface, holding a trident in one hand and an olive branch in the other, flanked by the words "WORLD" and "WAR II." The reverse depicts an anchor within a rope circle, wound with a ribbon bearing the Latin words for "the strength to overcome an adversary," encircled by "UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE 1941-1945."
Sized for everyday wear, this pin lets veterans display this recognition on a suit lapel or jacket. It's built for accurate detail and lasting durability.
