Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait)DescriptionThe Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait) was approved by the Kuwait Council of Ministers for award in five classes, generally according to the rank of the recipient. The medal was offered by the Chief of Staff of the Kuwait Armed Forces on July 16, 1994. A nation of seafarers and ship builders, Kuwait chose as their coat of arms, the traditional dhow. Falconry is the sport of Kings in the Persian Gulf, and the falcon in the arms is seen as a symbol of Kuwaiti prowess. The official symbolism of the colors is that black symbolizes battlefields, white is for deeds, green is for the meadows, and red is for the blood of Kuwait's enemies.
AustraliaThe Australian Government has decreed that Australian personnel may accept their medals as a keepsake, but permission to wear them in uniform has so far been refused.[1] This is because the Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia) was approved to wear in uniform prior to the Kuwait issued medal being issued. It was potentially due to a clerical error within the Australian Government that medals were issued to serving personell who had not participated in eligible operations, due to crew change-outs on participating ships.
