Dave,

1 word. Awesome. Thanks

Ron

Dave,

Way cool, Where did you get this?

Ron

Bonjour,

Research info on Lt Gen Harold Moore (bio, awards and d?corations).

I know : DSM, Purple Heart, CIB 2 awards.

Reseeach info on Sgt Major Basil Plumley (bio, awards and d?corations).

I know : Master Para with 4 or 5 stars.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi, Lt Gen Moore's are not easy to find - the Army doesn't have his Bio listed that I could find. I did find he has the Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguishe Service Medal, Bronze Star w/2OLC, Purple Heart, and the Air Medal -9 times. Will keep looking though. Still working on Sgt Major Plumley.

Ron

Ed,

Awesome interview, Great job. We need more opportunities like that to get the word out.

Ron

Merry Christmas!! That's an awesome batch of patches there.

Ron

Ralph,

That would be great. The only one I have at present is posted above, but I'm working on acquiring more.

Ron

Ralph,

Way cool medals! Since the SVA crimps my collecting US military medals (certain ones), I may just have to see about these Masonic and KT medals.

Ron

Greetings all,

Here is an analysis that was posted on the OMSA forum regarding the Stolen Valor Act. I guess the FBI needs a real job, so we U.S. collectors are the new targets.

Isn't that the honest truth.

Got this in today's news:

On Wednesday, December 20, 2006 the President signed into law:

S. 1998, the "Stolen Valor Act of 2005," which expands criminal penalties for fraud relating to military decorations and medals;

Make it real tough on US collectors.

Hi, Fairly new here and I'm glad to be here. Love reading through the many interesting threads. Anybody out there have any info on Operation Eagle Claw (the U.S. Iranian Hostage Rescue Mission) from April 24-25 1980. I was deployed to Wadi Kena AB, Egypt with KC-135 Tankers in suppodrt of this operation.

Ron

This link is for replacing US Awards and Decorations that you're entitled to: http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-...ecorations.html

Ron

Here is one that I obtained for my collection.

Ron

One of my favorite awards - got mine for Operation Eagle Claw (Iranian Hostage Rescue Attempt) 24-25 April 1980.

Ron

Thanks for posting this - this was an awesome read and the American Legion Members of the Post I'm commander of will enjoy them as well.

Ron

These are beautiful, I have got to get one of these for my collection.

Ron

My taste is simple, I want to replace a 556th Strategic Missile Squadron Patch that I lost in a fire years ago.

Ron

FireMedals,

Right you are - Jos Mayer & Bros stamped on reverse. Also, it has a gold colored open-catch pin back. The back ribbon drape is attached and stitched on both sides, but it appears to be a one piece ribbon.

Thanks again, Ron

Hi, I acquired this one and it is different than the others depicted here. Any ideas about this one?
