A circular brown bronze medal depicts three shirtless, muscular men wearing trousers. In the center, a man stands over a large bale, gripping its top. To the right, a second man kneels, reaching one hand toward a hanging pulley hook. A smaller figure stands in the background with both arms raised. Raised block letters reading "GOODWILL" and "HOWARD MEN" curve along the rim. A cross-hatched mesh pattern borders the bottom edge.
