I have a question regarding military award titles. I’m particularly interested in understanding how these military award titles are determined and what criteria are used for their awarding. For instance, do different branches of the military have varying titles for similar achievements? 

Additionally, are there any awards that are commonly recognized across all branches? I’ve come across terms like “Medal of Honor,” “Distinguished Service Cross,” and “Purple Heart,” but I’d love to learn more about their significance and the stories behind them. Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help!
