My Grand-Father Giovanni (John) Lovison got this award plus two others 50 years after the war ended. He was summoned to the embassy where he and six others were given their medals. He was so proud and when my Dad Reno passed away I got Grandpa's medals of which I will had down to my Grandson Gabriel along with others the family has rec'd from WWII and VN.

O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
