Grizzled Veteran

“

I did three goddamn tours of duty overseas, and I wasn't even asked! — The Soldier

”

The Grizzled veteran is a Miscellaneous badge awarded by Valve to the Team Fortress 2 community as part of their 119th Update Celebration. It appears as a gold, rectangular medal worn on the class's chest, not unlike the Gentle manne's service medal. The Grizzled veteran medal is awarded to players who bought and played Team Fortress 2 within 3 months of its initial release.
