There is a template for medals, but it is for the highest medal of each country such as the medal of Honor, Victoria Cross, Croix de guerre, etc. for instance

{{Medal
|image = Mil_template_images.jpg
|Medal = Victoria Cross 
}}

the page describing it is: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Medal

 

we have been working on adding categories for medals for all countries, but it will take a lot of time to get them all out here...  

I try to add a brief description and an image of the medal, and a link to wikipedia or another site that has a more detailed description of the medal.

to see what exists so far on wikitree, go to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Military_Decorations and look for the country that issues the decoration.  if you do not see the country, or when in the country category, do not see the decoration/award/medal, let me know and I can work on getting the category created.
