Colonial Cross

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Sergeant Avery Johnson dons his newly awarded Colonial Cross.

The Colonial Cross is a military decoration awarded to Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen of the United Nations Space Command for "acts of singular daring and devotion".[1] It is the highest decoration a UNSC serviceman or woman can earn in wartime[2] and is usually awarded in a ceremony recognizing the person who has won the award.[3]

In 2552, Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood held a highly publicized ceremony to award several Colonial Crosses aboard Cairo Station.[3]

Known Recipients[edit]

Trivia[edit]

In the Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes, the medal is depicted with a solid red ribbon, rather than the blue, red, and gold ribbon of the original game.
