United Arab Emirates Medal for the Liberation of Kuwait, Gulf War.
The Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm, was a conflict waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait. The war took place from August 1990 to February 1991, with the primary combat operations occurring in early 1991. It was a significant event in modern military history, involving large-scale ground, air, and naval operations.

The Medal for the Liberation of Kuwait was instituted by several participating nations to recognize the service of their military personnel during the conflict. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) version features national symbols, including its flag colors within the emblem and a map outline, signifying the UAE’s involvement and contribution to the liberation effort. These medals are often awarded to veterans and collectors as a memento of this historical campaign.
