Medal

The medal is in the form of a cross in gold..[1] Superimposed in the center of a cross is a disc where a relief head of Gen Gregorio del Pilar is placed facing front.[1] The wreath made of light green laurel leaves superimposed the cross.[1] The cross signifies the risk of life while in combat; the disc with the head of General Del Pilar is for achievements that resulted in the wounding of an awardee by an armed enemy; the wreath symbolizes honor for such endeavor; and the green color stands for nobility and devotion to duty.[1]

Ribbon

The ribbon is white with purple stripe in the center.[1]

gollark: And make it increment `i` itself.
gollark: You could also make it do `while #primes < tuning do`.
gollark: The `ipairs` iterator gives us `key, value` for each item of the table (in order). The key is unnecessary here, so it's just bound to `_`, the convention I've seen a lot for variables you're discarding.
gollark: As you can see, you don't actually need to explicitly compute the length anywhere.
gollark: Here's how I would do it:```lualocal function divisible_by_any(n, factors) for _, factor in ipairs(factors) do if n % factor == 0 then return true end end return falseendlocal primes = { 2, 3 }for i = 2, 100 do if not divisible_by_any(i, primes) then table.insert(primes, i) endendfor _, prime in ipairs(primes) do print(prime) end```
