Overview
Overview
The Cuban Pacification Medal (Navy) was also issued to naval personnel who served ashore in Cuba between September 12, 1906, and April 1, 1909, or who were attached to any of a number of ships serving in the area within this timeframe. There was no minimum service time required for presentation of the award, and a service member could technically receive the Cuban Pacification Medal for only a few days of service. A similar decoration, known as the Army of Cuban Occupation Medal, also existed for those who had served in the initial occupation of Cuba after the Spanish–American War. Colonel Harland Sanders was awarded the medal for his service as an army Wagoner in Cuba from 1906 to 1907.
