  • The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the second highest non-combatant medal awarded by the United States Department of the Navy to members of the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. The decoration was established by an act of Congress on August 7, 1942. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal may be awarded to service members who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. Typically, it is awarded for actions involving the risk of one's own life. During the mid 20th century, the Navy and Marine Corps Medal has been awarded instead of the Silver or Gold Lifesaving Medal, for sea rescues involving risk of life. This is due primarily to the creation of a variety of additional military decorations that are often considered more prestigious than the Lifesaving Medal. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal was first bestowed during the Second World War, although the first recipient is unknown. A famous recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Medal was President John F. Kennedy who was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for service as Commanding Officer of a World War II Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is generally considered the equivalent of the U.S. Army Soldier's Medal, the U.S. Air Force Airman's Medal, and the Coast Guard Medal.

  • Die Navy and Marine Corps Medal ist die zweithöchste Auszeichnung die vom Marineamt der Vereinigten Staaten verliehen wird. Der Orden kann nur an Mitglieder der United States Navy und des United States Marine Corps vergeben werden. Die Auszeichnung wird seit dem 7. August 1942 durch einen Kongressbeschluss verliehen. Mit der Navy and Marine Corps Medal werden Soldaten ausgezeichnet, die außerhalb von Kampfhandlungen Mut und Tapferkeit bewiesen haben. Die Auszeichnung ist äquivalent zu der Soldier's Medal der Army, der Airman's Medal der Air Force und der Coast Guard Medal der Küstenwache. Der bekannteste Träger der Navy and Marine Corps Medal war John F. Kennedy.
  • La Medalla de la Marina i del Cos de Marines és una condecoració dels Estats Units, creada el 7 d'agost de 1942 per Franklin Delano Roosevelt mitjançant un acta del Congrés. És atorgada a qualsevol persona que, mentre servia amb la Marina i el Cos de Marines, es distingeix per heroisme sense estar en conflicte amb un enemic armat. Per accions de salvar vides es requereix que l'acció fos amb risc de la pròpia vida. Se situa entre la Creu dels Vols Distingits) i l'Estrella de Bronze; i és equivalent a les Medalles del Soldat, de l'Aviador i dels Guardacostes. Durant la segona meitat del segle XX, ha estat atorgada en lloc de les Medalles per Salvar Vides, per rescats al mar amb perill de la pròpia vida. Això és degut principalment a la creació d'una varietat de condecoracions militars addicionals que estan sovint millor considerades que les Medalles per Salvar Vides. El futur President John F. Kennedy la va rebre per heroisme mentre servia com a Oficial Comandant d'una Llanxa Torpedinera PT-109 durant la II Guerra Mundial.
