The Military Medal is a metal service medal awarded to a soldier. It is a memento, a decorative piece that adds realism to the world.
The medal is a keepsake of someone's service and sacrifice. It weighs almost nothing and counts as a small piece of metal. Its worth lies in the memory it carries rather than in any use.
Cigar boxes of keepsakes hold medals most often. Pawn shops, backstage rooms and hidden floor stashes turn them up as well.
Using
A Military Medal is carried or kept as a keepsake. A survivor can set it on a shelf at a base as a quiet reminder of the world before. It suits a collector who gathers medals, badges and other mementos.
As a gift, the medal carries weight beyond its size. In a group it can mark a survivor's own deeds, such as holding a base or saving a friend.
Locations
Cigar boxes of keepsakes are the best bet, holding one about one time in five. Backstage counters and dressers come next. Pawn shop display cases and plank stashes in bedrooms hold one now and then. Attics, closets, halls and living rooms turn one up only rarely. Survivor safehouse boxes and crates are long shots. Overall the medal is an uncommon find.
