| Note: The Institute of Heraldry (TIOH), the
authorizing agency for determining the
medals and decorations that will be issued
to Army veterans through the Veteran Medals
Program, implemented a change to the finish
of US Army badges. The current silver oxide
finish is being phased-out and a
nickel-plated shiny finish is being
introduced. The transition to the new finish
is expected to begin in October 2017. The
Veteran Medals Team will make every effort
to ensure the finish is the same for all
Army badges included in an awards case.
