A circular bronze medal depicts a woman in profile, walking left with long, draped clothing rippling around her legs. Her forward arm reaches toward the four-line inscription "FOR SERVICE FAITHFULLY RENDERED," while her rear arm is raised. Rays of light radiate from behind her, framing a distant silhouette of the Statue of Liberty. The medal's warm, matte finish highlights the fluid lines and textured surface of the bronze relief.
