Please vote for UP TO Three medal winners from Mission 1.

All nominees will receive the Air Medal, "For Meritorious Achievement while Participating in Aerial Flight."

The leading vote getter will instead receive a Distinguished Flying Cross, "For Heroism or Extraordinary Achievement while Participating in Aerial Flight."

Any vote getter receiving votes from more than 33 percent of voters with a minimum of 25 votes cast (note that this is different than the votes that will show in the graph, since it's multiple choice) and taking place in some action on the ground, will instead receive a Bronze Star, "For Heroic or Meritorious Achievement of Service, not involving aerial flight, in connection with Operations Against an Opposing Armed Force."

Any vote getter receiving votes from more than 66 percent of voters with a minimum of 50 votes cast (note that this is different than the votes that will show in the graph, since it's multiple choice) will instead receive a Silver Star, "For Gallantry in Action Against an Opposing Armed Force."

Any vote getter receiving votes from more than 90 percent of voters with a minimum of 50 votes cast (note that this is different than the votes that will show in the graph, since it's multiple choice) will instead receive a Distinguished Service Cross, "For Extraordinary Heroism in Connection with Military Operations Against an Opposing Armed Force."

Any vote getter receiving votes from more than 98 percent of voters with a minimum of 100 votes cast (note that this is different than the votes that will show in the graph, since it's multiple choice) will instead receive a Medal of Honor, "For Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity at the Risk of Life, Above and Beyond the Call of Duty, in Action Involving Actual Conflict with an Opposing Armed Force."

We at central command owe some of you this, too.

Everyone gets this European Campaign Medal.
