    Working on recreating Saddam's Medal Bar


    Recommended Posts

    As much as I hated Saddam for killing my friend on the USS Stark in 1987, I am recreating his Medal Bar. I will have it mounted with pieces of one of his bunkers in Baghdad. My friends Son is a Lt. Colonel and sent me a small bag of concrete from the bunker under one of his main palaces. So far I have two medals and three on the way. I'm working from the last medal to the 1st. I have the Medal for cooperation, 1st class and the 1921-1971 Golden jubillee medal, 1st Class. On the way to me are The Medal for the 1973 war with Israel, The Medal for the 17 July Revolution in 1968 & The Medal of Peace with the Kurds (Gilt). Next three will be:

    1.The Medal for the Palestine War, 1948-49

    2.Medal for Crushing the Northern Rebellion

    3.The Medal for the 14 Ramadan Revolution, 1963

    Two of the last three will be inexpensive. The Wisam al-Jadara First Class will cost a bit. I will definately mount them in a frame with the pieces of his bunker as a reminder that Brian's death has been avenged, though almost a couple decades later.

    Doc, contact ammarjwwad@hotmail.com. you may be surprised at the price. I think it will still be expensive, but perhaps not as much as you expect (depending of course on what you expect :unsure: ) Scott. :cheers:

    Thanks Scott!!! That's who I'm dealing with. Lorenzo got me in touch with him and suggested that I start at the end of the medal bar and work my way to the first medal.

    My friend was a Major in a Medical Brigade and sent me these pieces of Saddam's bunker wall. He's a LT. Colonel now. I am going to include these pieces of the bunker with my replica of Saddam's Medal Bar. I'll also put a picture of Brian and Saddam in the display.
