For service in civilian defense
Civilian defense recognition poster: a column of six service-ribbon designs, each with the CD triangle emblem and a labelled hour total from 500 to 5,000 hours, beside two faded emblem stencils on a dark ground. The technique is faint here; the sheet mainly shows an award scheme, with 'service' as the only appeal.
