                Randy,

                If you email me the picture at p58enfield@rica.net, I'll see that it gets posted for you. It sounds like an eagle over a white enameled Cross Pattée, perhaps?

                      I do believe that is a Republican Presidential Task Force Medal, not a military medal.

                        It looks real close to one of the medals related to the York Rite of the Masonic bodies.

                          There is a similar medal, slightly different eagle pattern, offered on ebay right now. The seller identifies it as "Here is a GAR Medal given to the family after the vetran of the Civil war Passes on. It was made by the Pettibone company of Cinncinnati.".

                          Of course we're familiar with the accuracy of ebay identifications, but it's worth looking into.

                            MOLLUS Medal

                            It is difficult to say for sure without being able to read the inscription, but it appears to be a MOLLUS Medal. The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States was a Civil War Veterans organization for officers only. They published wonderful magazines and collected an incredible amount of materials. Some of there collections can be seen in Philadelphia and at Carlisle Barracks.
