History


The Medal of Darius and Girenas was established in honour of Lithuanian pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Girenas. It was awarded by the state until 2003 but has since been awarded by the Ministry of National Defence (for military aviation) or the Ministry of Transportation (for civil aviation).

It is awarded to Lithuanians and foreigners in recognition of meritorious service to Lithuanian aviation.

The Bronze Medal features an obverse inscription that translates to "Darius and Girenas," and a reverse inscription that translates to "For Merit, Lithuania, Aviation."
