The American Campaign Medal is the American equivalent to a "Defence Of" Campaign Medal. Although the mainland United States was not attacked by land forces there was a naval campaign against it by the German Navy.
These were awarded for 30 days - 1 year campaign service (depending on situation). This example with the Campaign Star was awarded to a US Naval Serviceman.
A Soviet Naval equivalent in home waters encountering the Naval blockade of Leningrad would in turn have been awarded the Medal "For The Defence Of Leningrad".
