Grace Hopper's Naval Reserve Medal

Origin
Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (1906 – 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Navy Rear Admiral. She was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer in 1944 who invented the first compiler for a computer programming language. It was one of those who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages which led to the development of COBOL (an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language), one of the first high-level programming languages. Owning to her accomplishments and her naval rank, she was sometimes referred to as “Amazing Grace”. The US Navy Arleigh Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Hopper is named for her, as is the Cray XE6 “Hopper” supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computer Center. In the spring of 1959, at a two-day conference known as the Conference on Data Systems Languages bringing together computer experts from industry and government. Hopper served as a technical consultant to the committee and, along with several former employees, defined the new language COBOL. Hopper's belief was that programs should be written in a language that was close to English rather than in machines code.
