[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 4281409, member: 15588"]This might be related to the "Independent Order of Odd Fellows," due to the triple link chain at the bottom. They also go by the initials "I.O.O.F." From [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Order_of_Odd_Fellows']wikipedia[/URL]: "The order is also known as the [I]Triple Link Fraternity[/I], referring to the order's "Triple Links" symbol, alluding to its motto "Friendship, Love and Truth" And [URL='https://odd-fellows.org/about/odd-fellows/encampment/']this link[/URL] references "Encampment" as a high order of the Odd Fellows. Some of the symbolism on that page looks similar to the medal.
