I put one of my father's medals down next to him.
He's not been out of the medals since he was 17.
In total they won 26 of the available 35 medals.
The Americans won four of the 12 medals, one more than last year.
Perhaps this is a good place to say something about the history of the medal.
There is no design on the back of the medal.
The die is then used to make whatever number of medals are needed.
After the war he continued his work in the field of medals.
He won a total of 6 international medals including one gold.
He is already a life member thanks to the first of his two gold medals.
