Awards

The wearing of awards adds to the fun of reenacting and is part of the development of your “first person Character”. Awards are given at lineup the weekend following when they are qualified for. 

Be advised that it is your responsibility to track your own awards.  Let the Company Clerk know when you are up for an award and he will verify and put in the proper paperwork to HQ for the award.

(Awards for valor are not presented and, additionally, awards should never be worn in any situation that involves contact with the public)
