Powerful Eagle Design by Benjamin Sowards
Benjamin Sowards designed and Joseph Menna sculpted the obverse of the medal. An eagle prepares to take flight by spreading its wings in a design that represents determination, initiative, and courage. Five stars to the right represent the five branches of the American military. “HONORING AMERICA’S VETERANS” is inscribed on the rim frame. Richard Masters designed and Renata Gordon sculpted the reverse, which is dominated by a field of stars. One star is missing in the middle, replaced by an incuse star at the bottom. That star represents those who died in service to the nation. It is joined by the inscription “SERVICE AND SACRIFICE.”
Designed by Paul C. Balan and sculpted by Gordon, the dollar’s obverse feature oak leaves and a lily flanking the emblem of the American Legion. On the reverse, the flags of the United States and the Legion are crossed. Between the top portions of those flags is a fleur de lis, which represent the foundation of the Legion in France, as well as the inscription “100 YEARS OF SERVICE.” Patricia Lucas-Morris designed and Michael Gaudioso sculpted this face.
