An anodized medal is a type of medal that has undergone an anodizing process, which involves electrochemically treating the surface of the metal, typically aluminum, to create a protective and decorative oxide layer. This layer enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and can be dyed in various colors for aesthetic purposes. Anodized medals are often used in sports, awards, and recognition events due to their lightweight nature and vibrant appearance.

Yes. You may wear non-anodized or anodized medals at your option. You are not, however, allowed to mix the two types. Some SNCOs swear by "if you wear anodized buttons, you must wear anodized medals" but this is not accurate and is found anywhere in the uniform manual (MCO P1020.34G). It was true of uniforms in decades past when anodizing vs hand-polished brass was an issue, but today there is no conflict. -Sgt T

No, aluminum cannot be anodized with steel attached. Anodizing is a process that specifically applies to aluminum and its alloys. Steel cannot be anodized in the same way as aluminum, as it requires its own unique processes for surface treatment and coating.

I am not aware of the Purple Heart ever being made with pure gold. The medallion that is made today is actually a brass core that has been anodized to the gold color.
