Eric K.

What to say? I am currently in the U.S. Army and just seeing this guy with a beard in uniform makes my blood boil. I understand it's part of his religion and all, but I think you either conform to the Army or you don't join. It just goes to show the bad situation the military is in, you can have tattoo's on your face and hands, you don't need a high school diploma, felons are allowed in.Standards have dropped to a depressing level. I am hoping that i a few years the Army will go back to what it once was, kind of like how the Army went down hill during Vietnam and after, but pulled itself together again in the early 80's. Here's hoping. Eric

As I have been away for awhile I am slowly catching up. This deserves to be bumped up, without a doubt. Like usual Chris excellent job! Eric

I know I have brought this thread up from the depths, which I'm sure I will be doing here in the coming days/weeks. I was wondering what the final conclusion is to this medal bar, Is it a messed with bar? impossible to say? or a good one? Thanks guys Eric

Great documents!! Am I totally wrong or do these come in a wooden "tube" or scroll? Eric

Great to see these documents guys. I will start scanning mine and post them here as well. Eric

I never really understood why people are extrrrrrremely careful with medals, I mean I don't throw mine around but I do touch them with my bare hands, They've been thru a lot worse. Eric

I have a few of these wings, and what I found interesting is that they all came from the police I think it's just part of their uniform, sometimes they have it on their beret, sometimes their sleeve. Did Iraq even have an airborne force?? Eric

Beautiful mini's, I love them all. I'll post mine sometime tonight. Eric

I'll talk to some of my guys and see if they can pick a couple up for me, Eric

OH yeah if you ever go to FOB Stryker theres a guy that sells tons of orders Eric

your kidding about the price of the clock right??? I can tell you where in East Baghdad were you can pick these up for about 5 bucks.... never got one cause they were so cheap.....stupid me Eric

Excellent!!!!!! let us know when you update. Eric

Great pictures!!!! is that a 60mm?? Eric

I have an old charge/range book, I think it's dated 1913-1915 somewhere around that time frame. I'll look for it tonight. Eric

Thats a thing of beauty Chris!!! Eric

Beautiful pin!!! I have never seen this as a mini!!! now lets see the big brother Eric

I agree that they are original, and the eagle and cross are great, who put this together? Eric

Not that I'm defending this guy, but I have run into bars that were torn apart for some reason by the original owners, but if this guy did it he's a turd Eric

Post #8 is a beauty!!! I think these are way undervalued Eric

These look great!! I have a nice SS photo lot that I would like to try this on. Eric

Eric :jumping: very nice!!!.....by the way I hate you!!! Eric

well I tried. I figured with all the beer, and babes at the beach you wouldn't have remembered telling me to go to hell, when I begged and pleaded for this one. hahahahaha Eric

Just talked to Tony, and just wanted to say thanks for giving me this beauty...........hahahahahaha Eric

Eric, Is there something you don't have??? Eric

Excellent job! I always like to hear stories about saving history from the scrap heap. Eric
