Lapel Pin - Merchant Marine Pacific War Zone Medal (WW2)

Merchant Marine Pacific War Zone Medal (WW2) Lapel Pin

This lapel pin represents the Merchant Marine Pacific War Zone Medal (Bar), a decoration of the United States Merchant Marine established by an Act of Congress on May 10, 1944. It was awarded to officers and crew of ships operated by the War Shipping Administration for service in the Pacific War Zone between December 7, 1941, and March 2, 1946 — a theater encompassing the North Pacific, South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean east of eighty degrees east longitude.

Originally issued as a ribbon-only award, the decoration was supplemented with a full medal beginning in 1992 to recognize the wartime service of civilian mariners who supported the nation's armed forces.

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.
