One pin is a U.S. Navy insignia pin and the second pin is a rectangular blue star service banner, like those displayed by family members of those serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The blue star flag has a red enamel exterior border, with a blue star in the center over a white background. A loop linked chain is affixed to the right of the blue start flag pin and attached to the insignia pin. The Navy insignia pin is a fouled anchor with "USN" in the center. The backs of both pins have hook pin clasps and the word "sterling" stamped into the medal.
