My idea for the Unfinished Business 2024 campaign medal appears below.
The medal is based on a circular castle motif in bronze and silver. The ridges around the edge of the medal represent castle wall crenelations. In Roman times, high honors were given to the first man over the wall of a fortification. Later, fortifications became symbolic of military engineers. Stone walls feature prominently on many military medals for engineers.
If my Latin is correct, “Veni Vidi Confeci”, means, “I came. I saw. I finished.” Please let me know if you find an error.
The number 11 blades and crossed paint brushes are obvious model building motifs.
The checkered flags are obviously symbolic of finishing.
The laurel boughs are representative of the laurel crown associated with a Roman triumph, awarded for valor, perseverance, and a victorious campaign.
Green is the color of life, success, and wealth.
Anyway, that is my submission.
