The medal and decoration are small in size but very significant in their symbolic value. They are awarded by the state (any state) to an individual or individuals for performing an extraordinary act, whether in war or peace. This small medal carries a high level of honor and prestige, which the recipient wears throughout their life and after their death, and it is a source of pride for their descendants. This book is a historical journey recounting the story of medals and decorations throughout history, from their first introduction in Iraq in 1926 to the present day, the difference between a medal and a decoration, how they are worn, and details of all the medals and decorations issued in Iraq, complete with their laws, regulations, and images.
