I've looked for military awards and decorations of the Confederacy, and this is what I've found.
From the United Daughters of the Confederacy...
Cross of Military Service
This is the replacement for the Southern Cross of Honor, the equivalent of the Medal of Honor in the Confederacy. It has been awarded to lineal descendants of Confederate military personnel who served in the conflicts listed by each medal.
WWI
WWII
Korea
Vietnam
National Defense Medal
Presented to lineal descendants of Confederate military personnel and who served a minumum of 90 days in the Korean War or the Vietnam Conflict but not in the Persian Gulf War.
Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
Presented to veterans who are lineal descendants of Confederate military personnel and who served a minumum of 90 days in the U.S. Armed Forces with service of at least 30 days in U.S. Military Operations, U.S. Military Operations in Direct Support of United Nations, or U.S. Operations of Assistance for Friendly Foreign Nations after July 1, 1958.
Pioneer in Space Award
Presented to men and women who are lineal descendants of Confederate military personnel and who have flown in space.
Meritous Service Award
Presented to veterans who are collateral descendants of Confederate military personnel and who have given military service to our country in certain timeframes.
There's also the Military Order of the Stars and Bars, but they don't offer any military awards...
Personally, I think the Meritous Service Award and the Cross of Military Service from WWII should be used as the awards for the CAF. It would also be nice to have the Korea and WWI medals added for those eras too. Is anyone else interested in making this a nation for the sim? This doesn't seem to have alot of support.
