Would you do one for Afghanistan?

This is a beautiful medal.

At 52:26, it should read "Long Binh", not the other way around. Site of the military jail for troops sentenced to 90 days or less, If it was more, they'd ship Stateside in 'cuffs.

Thanks, Colonel... really appreciate this. At 7:30, the Bein should be spelled Bien...

Wonderful video Sir I wore 2 of those patches after Vietnam. I served 97-00 thirty years after my Dad was in Vietnam with the 197th Infantry he was a LRRP.

what's interesting Kennedy was originally recommended for the silver star by his commanding officer Lt. Commander Alvin Cluster Kennedy was also not the only recipient of the Navy Marine Corps Medal on PT 109 that night, Ensign Leonard Thom, the Boats XO and Ensign George H. R. "Barney" Ross an observer assigned for TD on PT 109 received the medal

Air medal

My great grandfather was in the 81st in the Philippines campaign in WWII, His brother was on Normandy beach, I don’t know much about him because he passed away before I was born. However my great grandfather is still alive

Outstanding video, Sir. Thank you for all of your insights. I really enjoyed it.

That was very informative. Thanks

Great video Colonel thanks

Days gone by and things I did when I was dumb...

AT the 43:51 mark there seems to be a problem with the STRATCOM patch. The lower half (in Orange) should have the other half of the "wire-frame" globe but in white. (I served in STRATCOM Japan in '72-75.) I thoroughly enjoyed this video, keep up the good work!

The dui you have for the 6th-31st infantry DUI 2nd one you have is wrong. The bear with the S inside the arrow head is actually the 27th infantry “wolfhound” coat of arms

I served with Charlie Company 84th ENGR.Battalion 25th INF.. But I see you left out the Engineer’s..

Are there awards for the space force yet or have you just not been able to get around to them yet? P.s thanks for your videos most were quite great and you also have a monopoly in parts of this feild so thanks for filling gaps in my knowledge..

My late Granfa has a medal like that, WW2 victory medal, he was a WW 2 veterans in Mindanao,and Zulo. usaFFE army, here unit was not surrender to japs during the war, 112th div. A rank of major , died yr.1993 My father told me my late granfa has a "anting anting" came from a old lady he once help during the war, somewhere in jungle of Bukidnon and Cotabato.

Could anyone give me information on the 69th service squadron in 1942?

I was in the Marines from 1978 to 1981 and never saw anyone receive This award. I was in the Army from 1985 to 1991 and received Army achievement Medal a couple of times and also the Army commendation Medal (ARCOM) a couple of times. I feel the Army awarded properly and the Marines didn't. I knew a lot of Marines who should have been recognized for things they did and never got anything. Not bashing them! I enjoyed my time in the Marines as I enjoyed my time in the Army. 2 different branches and 2 different ways of doing things!

can armored division uniforms have infantry collar discs ?

I served in bravo company 2/14th infantry from Aug 1968 to April 1969 was wounded two times after being wounded I was transferred to another unit in April 69 ..new unit was delta company 58th infantry we were a infantry security rifle company in the central highlands west of quy nhon .lthe 25th was a great unit served with some unbelievable great soldiers..

Sgt Lisk B btry 1-41 FA 1st ABCT 3ID Dog face soldier! Good job at Nuremberg Fun history fact After the battle at Nuremberg, general field marshall Albert kesselring noted that the marn soldiers were finest soldiers hed faced in all of WW2

I really appreciate your channel. As I served during 1991 to 1995, I am now at an age that I would like to put together something for my father (Vietnam era, yet served commanding a post in Turkey) and my grandfather who served in World War II, (USS Franklin CV-13) and survived to become a member of the 704 Club. Thank you!

Thanks Colonel very interesting

Great video

Thank you for your Service Sir. I really enjoy your UA-cam videos!

Great video Colonel thanks

Thank you so much for this. I am currently sitting surrounded by my uncle's medal. He was a Tech 5, Thomas M Williams. I don't have all of the metals it looks like he should have, but have the information to request them (I think). He wrote the most amazingly descriptive account of the Liberation of France. I am so proud to be his great, great niece and namesake (middle name). He was such a wonderful character.

I’m a retired army mustang. I was a staff sergeant and retired a lieutenant colonel. A marine colonel awarded me that medal as a 2nd lieutenant. I said to him please give my soldiers this medal; not a joint achievement medal. His Marines saw me taking of my blouse and serving as the enlisted man I will always be. Marine colonels have incredible power. Semper Fi.

Thanks for this.. I have some of these patches in my collection 👍✈️🇳🇿

I can’t hear ya say Alsack for Alsace one more time…

Geezus, some ignorant comments on here. You can easily search to see what SF does and why it's needed.

The Gayest Medal ever

Interesting, I wonder if these are available for collectors.

I SERVED WITH HHC 3rd BDE SCOUT PLATOON 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION 70-71...NEVER RECIEVED A LOT OF THOSE AWARDS...HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING THEM...?

What's up skid Marks

250 years ago give overseas services medel looked ....

Sounds like he was saying eunuch not unit

I always seen the first cavalry division logo on zippo lighters. It is very iconic. The yellow and black with the horse

I earned a combat infantryman badge in Vietnam 68/69 while serving with the us army 25th infantry division very proud of my award..

I hate to be "that" person but it's LIGHTNING not LIGHTENING.....

Good content but the background music is annoying.

1985-1987 South Korea

Lots of Commemorative medals in this video, none of which are authorized by DoD.

I received a honorables released😂

Most medals given to uneducated officers that have no idea how sailors accomplished the mission

Frequent wind

As a Navy hospital coromandel who served in the cold war I met a lot of Marines when known to them I was a Doc were greatly appreciative of my rate Marines are a Gung ho outfit Semper Fidelis !

Hey you forgot the 65th Engineers

When I got out of basic at Lackland AFB in 1972 we were all informed that we now have one stripe (E2 airman ) and can now wear the NDSM,so we have very little hair one stripe and one ribbon we was something to behold lol
