Just reading through the last issue of E-Sylum (V17-#32) and noticed your article on the OMSA's "2104" Convention. Jumping the gun a bit, are we? Don't think I'll live long enough to attend that one. Pretty sure you meant 2014 Convention.

I can't help with the first two but the third one is the UDC (United Daughters of the Confederacy) WWII Cross of Military Service awarded to WWII veterans who were descendants of Confederate soldiers. The motto in the top three arms of the Cross is “Fortes Creantur Fortibus” (The Brave Begat the Brave) and the dates in the bottom arm, 1861-1865, are the dates of the War Between the States. The center cross is to recall the original Southern Cross of Honor, the crossed stars in center represent the Confederate Battle Flag, and the dates 1941-1945 are, of course, for WWII. Note the connector at the bottom of the ribbon is the intertwined letters of the UDC and the colors in the ribbon represent the Allied nations during WWII. For Cross recipients who served overseas during the war, a small bronze dolphin (not shown) was available to pin on the ribbon.

In addition to WWII, the UDC issued similar crosses for WWI, The Korean War, and Vietnam. Slightly different style crosses were presented earlier for the Spanish American War and the Philippine Insurrection.

The quiz on the 3 military type medals was too easy. Right-clicking them brings up Flickr where they are briefly identified. A bit more info on two:

Brazil Rose, Order of the Rose - Knights Breast Badge. Six pointed, gold rimmed, white enamel star, each point gold ball tipped. Star superimposed on gold circular medallion. Center medallion is silver and has the entwined initials "P" and "A" (Pedro and Amelia) surrounded by a silver rimmed band inscribed "AMOR E FIDELIDADE (Love and Fidelity). With an outer band of pink roses and green leaves.
