The Story

General Shelton served our nation for many years and in many ways, including as military advisor to the President. He helped to coordinate the air part of Operation Allied Force, a victory without a single allied casualty in Kosovo in 1999.

This medal also recognizes his work as a military advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and commander of helicopter forces in Operation Desert Storm and of Green Berets in Vietnam. General Shelton “serves as an inspiration to the Congress and the people of the United States.”

The bronze medal pictured is a duplicate of the Congressional Gold Medal.
