Things that I've seen suggest that the rank that the recipient held at the time of the bravery in question (CPL,LTC,HM3,etc) is the rank that the award certificate lists.

However,I'm not at *all* certain of this so I could *very* well be mistaken.

I looked at photos of award ceremonies to see what uniform the recipient is wearing and then reading the info about what rank he was when it happened and then comparing uniforms.

But I know very little about rank patches and my husband is out of town so I’m just spinning my wheels.
