Taz,
I enjoyed looking at your Cuban postings. :thumbsup There is one thing that struck me as odd about this medal. The ribbon is left over right, where all the others are right over left. Was this one assembled backwards, or is it the correct way?

Well as you know very little info is known or availiable at the moment, I'm kind of starting from scratch, searching Cuban websites for any pieces of relevant text or images from the various awards. We have seen reversed ribbons on some soviet awards too, the reason, who knows, I'm afraid your guess is as good as mine at the moment. I would imagine that it has just been assembled together wrong,there is nothing to indicate that some awards officialy have the ribbons left over right, if and when other photos are found of this Order they can be compared. Best regards Eddie.

The “Félix Varela” Award for Excellence in American Journalism on Latino issues
The “Félix Varela” Award for Excellence in American Journalism on Latino issues is the largest cash prize in this category in US Journalism. The prizes are presented by the AL DÍA Foundation, chaired by Hernán Guaracao, former president of the National Association of Hispanic Publications in the US, and founder, editor and publisher of AL DÍA, a print and web-based news media organization with main offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The award was established to honor the memory of Father Félix Varela y Morales, an American intellectual of Latino origin who founded one of the first Spanish-language newspapers in the United States, in the city of Philadelphia, at the beginning of the 19th Century. The “Félix Varela” Awards’ purpose is to recognize any American journalist covering with excellence multicultural issues in the nation today, either through Spanish-language Print, or any digital media outlet, in English or Spanish A Catholic priest born in Cuba in 1788 who lived most of his life in the US. He came to Philadelphia, PA, in 1824. Varela y Morales founded “El Habanero”, the first of several newspapers he published in the US. “El Habanero” saw the light in Old City Philadelphia, the cradle of our Democracy and the Free Press. Father Varela was also a prolific writer and the author of multiple essays on cooperation between the English and Spanish-speaking communities. Father Varela translated into Spanish important English-language books, including Thomas Jefferson’s “Manual of Parliamentary Practice.” In 1997 the United States Postal Service honored Varela by issuing a commemorative stamp.
