    A man in a dark suit is positioning or adjusting a framed display on an easel showing two medal designs. The medals appear to feature ribbon bars with red, white, and green horizontal stripes and gold circular medallions with an embossed bird or eagle motif. The setting appears to be a formal ceremonial interior with marble columns and ornate architecture.

    The newest award that will soon be given to service members that served in Iraq was unveiled at the ceremony. The medal is called The Medal of Commitment. Dec. 1, 2011, marks Iraq's Day of Commitment. The ceremony hosted by the Iraqi government at Al Faw Palace, in Baghdad, Iraq, would be the last of its kind as U.S. forces continue to draw out of Iraq.
