Siler. It is awarded to members of the U.S. Coast Guard who complete 21 days of duty, consecutive or cumulative, north of the Arctic Circle, with qualifying service retroactive to January 1, 1946. Air crews flying in and out of Arctic regions may also qualify after 21 flight days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe full medal's design, created by Arnold P. Simmons of the Army's Institute of Heraldry, features a polar bear beneath the North Star — the bear representing the Arctic region and a nod to the historic Coast Guard Cutter Bear, while the star evokes Stella Polaris, prominent in the northern sky. The ribbon is the color reverse of the Antarctica Service Medal, marking service at the opposite pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSized for everyday wear, this pin lets veterans display this recognition on a suit lapel or jacket.
