Philippine Campaign Medal - Marine Corps
Criteria: Awarded to U.S. military personnel having performed service in
the Philippine-American War between the years of 1898 and 1913. Although
a single service medal, the Philippine Campaign Medal was issued under
separate criteria for both the United States Army and the U.S. Navy /
U.S. Marine Corps. To be awarded the Navy and Marine Corps version of
the Philippine Campaign Medal, a Navy or Marine Corps service member
was required to perform service in the Philippine Islands between the dates
of February 4, 1899 and December 31, 1904. Such service was required to
be either ashore in support of Army units or onboard certain vessels assigned
to the area of the Philippine Sea. The Navy and Marine Corps versions of the Philippine Campaign Medal was as a one time decoration with no devices authorized. The medal was established on June 27, 1908 by special order of
the United States Navy Department. The Navy Philippine Campaign Medal
was originally considered a completely separate award from the Army
medal and appeared as suspended from a red and yellow ribbon. On August
12, 1913, the Navy changed the ribbon color to match the Army’s version
of the award and from that point on the Army and Navy Philippine Campaign Medals were considered the same award but with different medal styles.
The Navy’s Philippine Campaign Medal displayed a bronze medallion with
the words “Philippine Campaign”, centered above the dates “1898 - 1903”,
and below a depiction of a stone gate leading into Manila.
