Two sides of a mock military medal with a green, white, and blue ribbon bearing two bronze stars. The front shows an unshaven Coastie holding a “Will Guard Coast For Food” sign and a tin can, inscribed “Longest Shutdown.” The back shows a dollar bill with a question mark, inscribed “For Paycheck Uncertainty.”
