Harry Truman: “This is one of the things that makes it possible for a man to carry on in this job.”

No more than one National Security Medal shall be awarded to any one person, but for subsequent services justifying an award, a suitable device may be awarded to be worn with the Medal.

I can't see any good purpose to be served by that.

The experience of this early period of public action showed that constant vigilance and competent professional guidance are essential to prevent irreparable losses.

There is hereby established a medal to be known as the National Security Medal with accompanying ribbons and appurtenances.
