SeU.S. Navy Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal Ribbon Bar – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) ribbon bar representing the United States Navy Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal, a military campaign decoration associated with American naval and Marine Corps operations in Nicaragua between 1926 and 1933.
Historical Background
During the early twentieth century, the United States maintained a significant military presence in Central America, frequently intervening during periods of political instability.
In 1926, renewed civil conflict in Nicaragua prompted the deployment of United States naval forces and Marines to protect American interests and assist in restoring order.
American military personnel participated in operations throughout Nicaragua, including patrols, security duties, and engagements with armed insurgent forces.
One of the most notable figures opposing the American military presence was Augusto César Sandino, whose guerrilla forces conducted an extended campaign against U.S. Marines and the Nicaraguan National Guard.
The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal was established in 1929 to recognize qualifying service during these operations.
American Marines withdrew from Nicaragua in January 1933, bringing the principal period of U.S. military involvement in the campaign to a close.
Why It Was Awarded
The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal recognized qualifying personnel of the United States Navy and Marine Corps who participated in designated operations or served in Nicaragua during authorized campaign periods.
The decoration commemorates American military involvement in Nicaragua during the interwar years.
