Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal

The Global War on Terrorism Service Medal is a 1 3/8 inch diameter Bronze medallion. Charged in its center is a shield adapted from the Great Seal of the United States superimposed over two swords, points up, and crossed. The shield is in turn superimposed by an eagle with its wings outstretched. In its talons the eagle is grasping a serpent. This central theme is enclosed within a wreath of laurel tied at its base. Encircled by the words, “WAR ON TERRORISM EXPEDITIONARY MEDAL” on the reverse side is the eagle, serpent and swords from the front.
