It is an honorable decoration, though few [[Human|humans]] have it. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] do not take prisoners, except the occasional straggler to execute for sport or when one is needed to activate [[Forerunner]] technology. There are few other enemies of the UNSC that the military contends with, so the medallion is a rare sight. | The '''Prisoner of War Medallion''' is a medal awarded to [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] personnel who have been [[Prisoner of War|captured]] (POW) in combat by enemies of the UNSC.

There was one event however, when his team should have received this award following their capture by the [[Insurrectionist]]s at [[Camp New Hope]]. Despite this, the medal was not awarded, perhaps due to political reasons. John-117 may also have been eligible for the award following his detainment by the [[Gravemind]] on [[Installation 05]], as well as his capture and interrogation by [[Covenant Loyalists]] while aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] prior to its arrival at [[Earth]]. | ||
