BRONZE MEDAL
Origin
The recommendation of a medal or some other device to the
next-of-kin as a gift in recognition that a member of the family died
while serving with the American Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces
during World War II originated in a committee meeting of three members
of the staff of Services to the Armed Forces on March 2, 1944. Their
recommendation was referred to Mr. Walter Davidson, secretary of the Com-
mittee on Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards.
In its report dated June 15, 1945 to the Central Committee the
Committee on Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards states:
3.
The issuance of an award to the next-of-kin of those
workers who have died while in the service of the
American Red Cross overseas has been considered and
is recommended. The Committee on Insignia, Uniforms,
and Awards requests authorization to submit a type
of medal or other form of recognition to the next
meeting of the Central Committee.
