Commander's Medal

The medal was authorized when CPT Harry A. Burr was Commander. He and later Commanders have received it following installation to office, generally at the Annual Meeting. The Commander has a “COMMANDER” bar on his ribbon; Past Commanders wear it also, without the title of Commander on the ribbon.

Commander's Gavel

The gavel was presented by the Past Commanders to Commander Peter J. Sposito in 1992 for use by him and all future Commanders thereafter. The command changes when the gavel is passed.
