You are bidding on an authentic Iowa “NAVY & MARINE CORPS CROSS MEDAL” optional license plate sample issued by the Iowa DMV.


The Navy & Marines Corps Cross is the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps' second-highest military decoration awarded for sailors and marines who distinguish themselves for extraordinary heroism in combat with an armed enemy force.


The action must take place under one of three circumstances:

In combat action while engaged against an enemy of the United States; or,

In combat action while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or,

In combat action while serving with friendly foreign forces, who are engaged in armed conflict in which the United States is not a belligerent party.


The act(s) to be commended must be performed in the presence of great danger, or at great personal risk, and must be performed in such a manner as to render the individual's action(s) highly conspicuous among others of equal grade, rate, experience, or position of responsibility. An accumulation of minor acts of heroism does not justify an award of the Navy Cross.
