Air Force Cross Miniature is an original medal manufactured in the U.S.A. in accordance with appropriate U.S. Government specifications. 

The legacy of the U.S. Armed Forces veterans is highly protected and it is essential to the mission of USAMM. There are what we deem to be notably important and sacred awards. These awards are solely granted to military personnel for exceptional valor and heroism in combat and fall just short of the Medal of Honor. These awards are the following:

1. Army Distinguished Service Cross
2. Air Force Cross
3. Navy Cross

It is vital that we protect the legacy of these awards and their recipients.

The Air Force Cross (AFC) is the United States Air Force and United States Space Force's second highest military decoration for airmen and guardians who distinguish themselves with extraordinary heroism in combat with an armed enemy force. The medal is awarded to any person, while serving in any capacity with the Air Force or Space Force, who distinguish themselves by extraordinary heroism, not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor.

The extraordinary heroism action must have taken place under one of the following circumstances: While serving in active combat against enemy forces, while participating in a military operation against armed enemy forces, or while serving in armed conflict alongside allied forces against an opposing force when the United States is not the aggressor.

Description and symbolism of Air Force Cross Medal:

The AFC medal consists of a bronze cross with an oxidized satin finish. Centered on the cross is a gold-plated American bald eagle, wings displayed against a cloud formation (from the crest of the Department of the Air Force Seal) encircled by a laurel wreath finished in green enamel. Additional awards of the AFC are annotated by oak leaf clusters, also the reverse of every AFC is engraved with the recipient's name.

The ribbon is brittany blue, edged with red, and bears a narrow white vertical stripe inside the red edges. The ribbon is almost identical to that of the Army's Distinguished Service Cross, except for the lighter blue center stripe, indicating the close connection of these awards.

Wear miniature medals and breast insignia on civilian evening dress (white tie dress code) or civilian dinner dress (black tie dress code) in the same manner as for dinner dress uniform jackets.
