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.
