Late in my military career I was invited to a few ceremonies where service members where honored by acceptance into a military order such as Military Order of Saint Maurice for Infantry, Military Order of Saint Martin for Quartermaster. I am aware of the Military Order of Saint Barbara for artillery, and the Military Order of Saint George for the armor. It seems all of the military orders are named after "Saints." I noticed that some date back to the middle ages in other countries such as France and Great Britain.
To the best of my knowledge I was never nominated to a military order; but, I expect many of you were. Please share what you were accepted into and why.
I included the humor topic. Please be respectful :-)

Not in the military orders you are describing. Like some of my shipmates, the only one I've been honored with is the Ancient Order of the Deep presided over by Neptunus Rex and his royal scribe Davy Jones!

Well LTC Stephen F. , if we're allowed to count being part of the Royal Order of the Deep as SGT Randal Groover has, then let's go ahead and count my "Emerald Shellback". :-)

As far as I am concerned, Military honors are Military Honors! or is this an exclusive Army Club?
