The Transportation 9-11 Medal is a special decoration of the
September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States of America.[1]
The Transportation 9-11 Medal is not a simple service decoration, but rather recognizes individual acts of bravery that resulted in the saving of life or great assistance to the rescue efforts from the September 11th attacks. A separate
military decoration, the Transportation 9-11 Ribbon
, is presented to members of the U.S. military for general aid and assistance to the victims of the September 11th attacks.
The 9-11 Medal is a one-time decoration and is authorized for wear by both civilians and members of the U.S military.
