This Crown bears the impression of The Silver Star imposed over a scene depicting the American GIs engaged in the terrible struggle that was the War in the Pacific. The Silver Star is a United States military decoration and is the third highest medal for valor. It is presented to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the United States Armed Forces, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. The decoration is also awarded for those who are serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for award of the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross or Air Force Cross, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction.
