[Ansteorra] Sable Shield Award Question...

[Rose M. Welch]

Greetings,

I am trying to find information about the Sable Shield award. The first few times that I saw it given, it was given to veterans of the war in Iraq. Since then, I have seen it presented to people who are currently serving in the US Armed Forces. At Three Queens, I saw it given to people who had served in the Armed Forces. I believe that they specified veterans, but not veterans of any particular award or action. (I could be wrong about 3Q. I was in the back and couldn't hear very well.)

I have been trying to find out information about it on the Ansteorra's website, but both Google and I agree that the information is not there. I couldn't even find it in the OP, despite the dozens of people I have seen awarded with it. :( Elsewhere, I have heard that it was an award that was only going to be given out during a specific reign, and closed after that.

So does anyone know the specifics of this award? If so, please let me know. Thanks!
