Good Luck. The Department of State has stopped issuing those medals back in early 90's because the actual cast medallion on the award is contracted by the maker. After the last major war before Iraq America has gone through, the medals were hardly being issued to military personnel. However, the contract with the maker was still being paid by the DoS. Since then, majority of the awardees were civilians. And since civilians are not big on medals, they switched to an expensive full framed certificate of the Meritorious Honor Award. Like most DoS employees, they brag about their certificates, diplomas, and achievements, not their medals because they don't get them as much as military do. So when the contract ended, they just stopped having them made. Now that military has gone back to war, DoS issues the certificates to military awardees but no medals. However, you can still get the ribbons for your ASUs. And if you really want the full sized medal of the Meritorious Honor Award, you'll have to wait until a WWII or Vietnam Vet auctions off his/her awards. Good Luck. Last time I checked, the price ranges between $200-$550. I could go higher in the future, if it ever reaches that high. Definitely, ridiculously priced.
