First Special Service Force Bronze Medal – 3 Inch
Commemorate the heroism of the legendary First Special Service Force, the joint U.S.-Canadian commando unit of World War II, with this 3 Inch Bronze Medal. This large-format medal is a bronze duplicate of the Congressional Gold Medal presented to honor the Force’s extraordinary service and sacrifice.
Obverse (Heads): Depicts two soldiers of the First Special Service Force in their distinctive gear, advancing together across rugged terrain. Inscriptions read “FIRST SPECIAL SERVICE FORCE” and “1942–1944.”
Reverse (Tails): Showcases the Force’s iconic red arrowhead insignia, flanked by the crossed flags of the United States and Canada. The inscription “UNITED WE STAND” symbolizes the close cooperation and brotherhood between the two nations.
Nicknamed the “Devil’s Brigade” by their enemies, the First Special Service Force earned a reputation for bravery and effectiveness in night raids, mountain warfare, and behind-the-lines missions. This medal honors their lasting legacy of courage, unity, and international partnership.
