Question 12712 — decorations, badges and emblems

Summary

Mr. Matthieu Bloch draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans to the modalities of examination and re-examination of application files for the award of the military medal. He wishes to draw attention to the situations in which application files, after having been constituted by the authorized associations and transmitted through hierarchical channels to the Grand Chancellery of the Legion of honor then to the decorations office of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, are ultimately not presented to the commission of the council of the order, on the grounds in particular of an assessment deemed insufficient of the facts or services presented. In certain cases, however, these files concern former soldiers with a recognized career, holders of decorations such as the war cross or the combatant's card and cross and today strongly committed in the fighting world, in particular through their active participation in community life and the duty of memory. He therefore wishes to know what is the exact scope of the placement of a file in the "pool" of the decorations office, what are the legal and administrative consequences and, moreover, under what conditions or procedures such a file can be re-examined subsequently with a view to possible presentation to the competent committee. Finally, he asks whether guarantees exist to ensure uniform and transparent consideration of military careers and post-service commitment of veterans in the processing of applications for the military medal.
