Liberation Armed Forces Hero. - Taz - 03-12-2008
This is the NFL equivalant of the Hero of the People's Armed Forces Decoration.
It was established on September 3rd, 1963. Worn above all other NFL decorations it was awarded in one class prior to 1976 and is classed as extremly rare.
According to Ed Emering it seems reasonable to assume that the recipient had to previously be awarded the Liberation Exploit Order.
