Prescott Pow Wow Warrior Medal of Valor Ceremony 2010

http://MakingASceneProductions.com The Warrior's Medal of Valor is the first medal ever minted for the Native Americans to honor all military personnel -- active duty, reservist, and Veterans.

This medal was designed and developed by Marshall Tall Eagle Serna, whose vision is to make this prestigious medal available to all those that have served this great country of ours.

The Warrior's Medal of Valor was approved by all Nations of American Indians and has been presented both to Veterans and active duty personnel at various Native American ceremonies since its conception in 2002, regardless of the recipients' cultural background. In Prescott our first presentation was May 26, 2007 at this Prescott Intertribal Social, since then we have awarded 565 medallions.

The Warrior's Medal of Valor invokes two sides to it. First, the patriotic one (Bald Eagle in foreground, the American Flag in the background, with two single Eagle feathers at the bottom of the coin). The revise side gives you the opportunity to engrave your name, branch of service, or dates of service, dates of combat.

In honor of your faithful service to our country...
