The Navy Meritorious Public Service Award is the third highest award that the United States Department of the Navy can present to private civilians not employed by the department. Like the other Navy Public Service Awards, it is generally awarded to business and civic leaders, scientists and other civilians who have made outstanding voluntary contributions to the mission and best interests of the Department of the Navy. It recognizes significant contributions with substantial impact upon a specific activity or geographical location. This award may be bestowed upon civilians by all Echelon I and II commanders, or above; and, is in rare cases signed and approved by the Secretary of the Navy.

Design

The medal, designed by the United States Mint, is bronze in color. The obverse has the Seal of the Department of the Navy, encircled by the inscription above "DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY" and below, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The reverse has the words "Awarded to" with a blank tablet for inscription of the recipient's name, resting on a spray of laurel. Arched at the top rim of the reverse of the medal is the word "MERITORIOUS." Horizontally, below the tablet, is the word "PUBLIC" and arched along the bottom rim is the word "SERVICE." The medal is suspended by a ribbon using divided in half vertically with blue on the left, and copper on the right.[1]

Recipients

The award is available for private citizens and organizations who have performed outstanding voluntary contributions for the Department of the Navy, within the last five years.[2] The contributions must have had a significant and substantial impact upon a specific activity or geographical location. With the exception of senior Department officials in non-career or appointive positions, only individuals or groups who were not employed by the Department during the time of their contributions are eligible for selection.[2] Recipients of the award are presented with the full-size medal, in addition to a miniature medal, a mounted ribbon, and a lapel pin. Also included with the award is a certificate signed by the commanding officer authorizing the award.[2] Nominations for the award are considered by the Department's Board of Decorations and Medals.[3] This award is bestowable by all Echelon I and II commanders, or above; and is in rare cases is signed and approved by the Secretary of the Navy.[4] If the award was earned prior to entrance into the Naval Service, or while under a U.S. Navy Reserve contract during off-duty (civilian) hours, it may not be worn on the military uniform.[5]
