🎖️
What 🎖️ means
A five-pointed star-shaped medal strung at the top to a thick blue, red, and white strap that's doubled to hold it and also be worn together by the winner.
The 🎖️ Military Medal emoji signifies the army (as the name would suggest). But, it also suggests displayed bravery, grit, strength, and fearlessness shown in a warzone.
How and when to use it
- While posting or reposting news content, appreciation posts,6 or maybe even birthday posts dedicated to the army in general or someone in the army in particular, you can use 🎖️ in the caption.
- If you're referring someone to a 'soldier' 🎖️ is more than welcome. For instance, "Aww. My little soldier 🎖️ You'll always be my number one, okay? Chin up, warrior" or "Oooh a grammar nazi. Here's your medal for holding up your duties 🎖️".
- Also, let's not forget army dogs! Use 🎖️ while sharing posts or reposts of/for/about these studs!
- If you're in the army and you're sharing an important milestone in your career as a personal message to someone close or through a social media story/post, bring in the 🎖️ emoji.
