Naval Award First Naval District for Merit date unknown

Post by 50states »

Hello gentleman,

I wondered if this award in the form of a button / lapel button might be known to any of you? I have searched online and have come up with nothing. A US military collecting web site I belong to was also unable to determine the date or history of the award.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would write the Naval History and Heritage Command as they may have information since the First Naval District was disestablished in 1976

Department of the Navy
901 M Street S.E.
Washington Navy Yard
Washington, D.C. 20374-5060
(202) 433-4132

Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood and Earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned these defended;
And saved the sum of things for pay.
