Palmetto Regiment Mexican American War Medal Stickers/Magnet

• "On one side is represented the landing of the American troops at Vera Cruz, the gallant leader of the Palmetto regiment, Col. Butler, having sprung from the boat that bore him to the shore, and with drawn sword, is calling on his command to follow - a figure, bearing the beloved Palmetto Flag, is on the prow of the boat, about to leap on shore, and plant the Standard, around which all appear eager to rally. To the right, are serried columns of troops on the line of march towards the Castle of San Juan; while in the distance is seen the American fleet, covering the landing of more troops, which are approaching the shore in boats. Around the edge of this side of the medal, in raised letters, are the names: "Vera Cruz," "Contreras," "Churubusco," "Chapultepec," and "Garita de Belen."

   

• On the reverse, is delineated a beautiful Palmetto Tree, resting against the trunk of which recline two shields, bearing the dates 1846 and 1847. Hovering over the tree is a spread eagle, from whose beak floats the motto of the Union, "E Pluribus Unum;" immediately above which, in a circle, is inscribed the names of "BUTLER," "DICKINSON," and "GLADDEN." On the outer rim are the State mottos, "Animis Opibusque Parati" - "Dum Spiro Spero." In the center of the medal in curved lines, are the words "To the Palmetto Regiment," and at the foot and lower edge is a blank scroll, for inserting the name of the recipient."
