Description

An attractive award medal of civic virtue; Good Citizenship Award of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented here complete with original red, white, and blue ribbon and pinback to reverse.
This award was given by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution for Good Citizenship. Award given for dependability, service, leadership, etc. A very appealing patriotic award medal honoring civic virtue.
The medal is in very good condition with even bronze patina with minor signs of handling. The details such as Washington's portrait, lettering and reverse design are very sharp. The ribbon is intact and of original color on the front of the ribbon, reversed on the back of the folded portion.
The Good Citizenship Award was issued by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution to recognize individuals, generally young, who possessed such qualities as dependability, service to others, leadership, and most importantly, a sense of true patriotism. There are many such award medals issued by organizations and institutions, but this is particularly special because of the issues of historical importance of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and the particularly special patriotic design and heraldic devises of this particular award. This makes the Good Citizenship Award an especially unique and powerful symbol of our national civic culture that will be of especial interest to collectors of Washingtoniana, DAR historical artifacts, items of general American historical interest, and all types of award medals.
A most interesting way to collect items that reflect the civic culture of the USA. The heraldic design and the general patriotism of these Good Citizenship Awards are of great interest to some collectors. A complete award, as this is, with the ribbon and pinback to hold the medal, is more desirable than a single medal of this type that has been separated from its award package. The better the item looks the more interest it will generate amongst collectors.
