Description: The Chapter Medal of Distinguished Service (“CMDS”) is diamond shaped with a blue SAR insignia surmounted on a white enamel background and trimmed in bronze hanging from a drape of solid maroon ribbon. A miniature medal is available. The CMDS is the highest medal that can be awarded by a Chapter President.

Authorized Presentation: The incumbent Chapter President may present one medal during his term (or each year of his term if elected to a multiyear term) at the Chapter’s Annual Meeting, to a Compatriot in recognition for that Compatriot's conspicuous service to the Chapter during the president's administration. The Chapter President presents this Medal at his discretion; no other approval is required.

Subsequent Presentation NOT Authorized: A Compatriot may receive this medal only once. Oak leaf clusters or other ribbon attachments are not authorized.

Retroactive Effectiveness: Former chapter presidents who have not made a presentation of this award would be eligible to present the medal to a compatriot upon the presentation of a letter to the incumbent Chapter President describing the assistance provided by the member.
