Obverse:
On the medal face are the Paratroopers wings insignia on a red background, above them the Brigade's traditional slogan "Follow Me". On the bottom are words from a poem by Hanna Senesh which reflect the Paratroopers sense of mission: "The voice called, and I went, I went, because the voice called."
Reverse:
On the reverse, the snake emblem of the Brigade, airplanes from which "drop" the words of the Paratroopers Hymn by Ehud Manor.
Obverse
Anne Frank's face emerges from behind a half open door, symbolizing the Jewish people's emergence from hiding at the end of the Holocaust. Her name appears at the right in Hebrew above a menorah and at the lower left in English, "ANNE FRANK". The artist's signature is at the bottom
Reverse
An extended hand and a barbed-wire fence with a Star of David bearing the inscription 'Jood" (Jew in Dutch). Above, the word "remember" in Hebrew and below, the dates "1933" and "1945". On the right, the word "REMEMBER" and on the left, the word "HOLOCAUST".
