Department of Homeland Security Distinguished Service Medal, full size and miniature medallions. Medallions ONLY, no ribbon or brooch. Excess Graco stock.

This decoration was originally established as the Department of Transportation Distinguished Service Medal by Executive Order 12824 signed by President George H.W. Bush on December 7, 1992. On February 28, 2003, President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13286, "Amendment of Executive Order, and Other Actions, in Connection With the Transfer of Certain Functions to the Secretary of Homeland Security." Section 29 of this Executive Order amended Executive Order 12824 of December 7, 1992 ("Establishing the Transportation Distinguished Service Medal") by striking "Transportation" in the title and inserting "Homeland Security" in its place. This action rendered the Transportation Distinguished Service Medal obsolete and replaced it with a new Department of Homeland Security Distinguished Service Medal, which is administered by the Department of Homeland Security. As originally written, the DOT and DHS DSM could only be awarded to Coast Guard personnel. On April 5, 2011, President Obama amended Executive Order 12824, as amended, modifying the award eligibility from "a member of the Coast Guard" to "any member of the Armed Forces of the United States". The Department of Homeland Security Distinguished Service Medal is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces who provides exceptionally meritorious service in a duty of great responsibility while assigned in the Department of Homeland Security, or in other activities under the responsibility of the Secretary of Homeland Security, either national or international, as may be assigned by the Secretary.
