A character is specifically mentioned as having served in the military and been decorated for heroism on the battlefield. It can be an important plot point, or simply a mentioned-in-passing part of the character's backstory that has no relevance on the plot or story other than expanding on the person's background. They may still be serving or have been discharged/retired. They may be an Old Soldier, Shell-Shocked Veteran, Blood Knight, or an example of I Did What I Had to Do. They can be a heavily muscled, tattoo-covered biker who will cheerfully treat you to a Scar Survey if you'd like, or a quiet, unassuming type whom you'd dismiss as an accountant or secretary until the shit hits the fan and Let's Get Dangerous! comes out to play. Will often overlap with Dad the Veteran, and will make his Papa Wolf mode all the more serious due to his training and experience. Chest of Medals may also come into play. If the character moves on to costumed crimefighting, they're a Military Superhero. There is absolutely no reason that they have to be a man. With women taking on more and more roles in the military, particularly roles involving direct combat, the opportunities for women being recognized for courage under fire have greatly increased. The character can be a police officer but earned their awards while serving in the military. All law enforcement agencies have their own awards for recognizing valor, but these are not considered wartime decorations making one this trope. This does not detract in any way from the dangers police officers face on the job. The Phony Veteran will often use illegally-obtained awards and falsified documents to pass as one of these. One of our Military and Warfare Tropes. No Real Life Examples, Please! - Suffice it to say there are countless people and animals who have been recognized for courage during wartime. However, listing real people who are portrayed by actors in films, biopics, etc. is acceptable as long as they are placed in the appropriate folder and not in a Real Life section. |

Magnum, P.I.: Magnum won the Navy Cross during his time in Vietnam, and when in scenes requiring that he wear his dress uniform the Navy Cross is at the top of his ribbon rack. Higgins is a former British soldier and is also a winner of the Victoria Cross, which is the equivalent to the U.S. Medal of Honor.

The Pacific: John Basilone is awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery in the Battle of Guadalcanal. He becomes something of a Propaganda Hero as well, given his importance in selling U.S. war bonds. Much of his subsequent character arc is him trying to deal with the perception that people have developed of him. He ultimately returns to the front, and is killed in the Battle of Iwo Jima. | |

Heartbreak Ridge has Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Highway approaching retirement, and stationed at Cherry Point to whip some punk-ass privates into fighting shape. His charges think the sergeant is just a relic marking time, but he's no slouch at combat, being a decorated veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Among a great many other awards for valor, he also has the Medal of Honor. His men soon learn that the sergeant is a Jerkass with a Heart of Gold, giving them some Training from Hell, but also playing fair and honest in his comportment. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV: The Warrior is required to enlist in one of the three Grand Companies of Eorzea and quickly becomes the continent's greatest hero. Their legendary martial prowess has been a crucial factor in turning the tide of several wars for liberation from Garlemald as well as beating back the primals that threaten to drain the land of aether. Doma and Ala Mhigo in particular refer to them as "liberator" for freeing them from Zenos' grasp, while all of Ishgard is grateful to them for ending the Dragonsong War. | |

Belamy from Skate the Thief had a distinguished military career decades before the book starts, picking up the moniker "The Iron Wind" on the battlefield.

First Blood: Rambo is specifically mentioned as being a winner of the Medal of Honor as well as a highly trained and experienced Green Beret. It's relevant to the plot as he's an opponent whose capabilities are far beyond what the lawmen of a small-town Sheriff's department are able to handle. Interestingly, Sheriff Teasle is also a decorated veteran of the Korean War. While being booked, Rambo sees his citation for having been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. This saves Teasle's life later. When Rambo ambushes Teasle's men and kills several, Teasle panics and runs away. Colonel Trautman later tells Teasle that Rambo assumed that Teasle, being a trained combat veteran, was not running away but actually strategically retreating to draw Rambo into a trap. Therefore, Rambo didn't pursue him. | |

After the battle to retake Deep Space Nine from the Dominion, Captain Sisko is awarded the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor. This is referenced a few episodes later when his old Academy nemesis Captain Solok shows up and needles Sisko by saying he had received that award twice. |

Patton has the American general seek to push his forces through Western France and into the Rhineland, but terrible weather hampers their advance, and worse, makes it difficult for American aircraft to locate their targets. General Patton charges a chaplain with composing a prayer for better weather, which the man does. Patton is heard reciting the prayer as American soldiers slog forth and die. The next day is clear and sunny, with American aircraft raining bombs galore on German positions. "Get me that chaplain," Patton orders. "That man stands in good with the Lord, and I want to decorate him." Specifically, Patton awarded him the Silver Star. |

Star Trek: The Original Series: Captain Kirk is openly stated to have been decorated many times for valor. Kirk doesn't talk about his awards or display them, preferring to keep them locked away in his quarters. His record is so impressive that in the episode "Court Martial" where Kirk was framed for the death of a crewman and put on trial, the prosecutor tried to have his decorations entered into the record without being read aloud to the court. Fortunately, Kirk's defense attorney saw right through this ploy and insisted that more of Kirk's list of medals be read into the record. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: There are several characters who are commended for their prowess in battle: Barristan the Bold became a Living Legend for defeating Maelys the Monstrous in single combat during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. He was rewarded with a position on the Kingsguard. Jorah Mormont was knighted by King Robert on the battlefield for being one of the first men through the breach during the Siege of Pyke, a decisive battle in the Greyjoy Rebellion. He was later anointed by the High Septon during a formal ceremony. After the Battle of the Blackwater, King Joffrey hosts a ceremony to honor the soldiers who fought on his side. More than six hundred men are knighted and some are even given land, castles, or valuable items. Tywin Lannister, the king's grandfather and leader of The Cavalry, is proclaimed the "Savior of the City". |

The Amalgam'Verse: In The Battle of Mount Erebus, Mugal is a Simian veteran who was propped up by the government and propaganda offices as such for his spectacular service and it earned him the rank of High Marshall. The concept is brutally deconstructed as the cushy command rank is meant to keep him out of the action he craves, he feels a mountain of guilt for all the youths who enlisted because of his image, and absolutely loathes the reputation it got him because of the blind hero-worship many give him. | |

Captain America: Fought in WWII on every front at some point. Throughout his comic history, it is common occurrence to run into an aged veteran or descendant of such whose life he saved. He's heavily decorated, but since he rarely wears a military uniform and doesn't display his decorations it's difficult to determine exactly what his decorations are. | |
