Honor Cross

The Honor Cross (HC) is a military service medal of the Imperial Forces of Defense and, previously, of the North American and New European Armed Forces, that was first created in 2011 when it was signed into law by Emperor William I. Heavily inspired by the German Iron Cross, had its design changed in April 2021, with the inscription "2020" added to the middle of the cross and the star and oak being removed from the ribbon bar.
