Stormwind Long Service Medal

The Stormwind Long Service Medal is a service award given to soldiers within the Stormwind Guard and its branches who have shown outstanding service between 5-50 years (Though this may vary).

It is often awarded to the veteran by their Commanding Officer, or a figure of military importance, such as a Lord-Marshal.

The Medal is distinguished into ten sections, each honouring five years which adds up to a total of 50 years. Each additional five years awards a pip upon the ribbon, indicating the additional years of service, or a small sword for every 25 years.

While the traditional limit for service is generally no higher then 50 years, with the Grand Alliance Military holding soldiers and officers (Such as the Night Elves) with longer life spans, the SLSM is subject to change in the clasps time due to other soldier's extended service periods.
