Another eBay bargain. 741st TB in greenback. Only one I've ever seen.

So he was definately in the infantry in either Viet'nam or in his later deployments.
I would also say that he became an officer with between 8-12 years as an enlisted man(NCO). I state this because of only two awards of the good conduct medal
Was this bar awarded to you, Jim?

That's a silver knot......

Yes, this is a nice all around modelling site.
Thanks, Steve.

Thanks Steve. I'm also still wanting to check out your new museum location. This summer should be much quieter. Do you guys still have that box of imperial medals? This is the place to get them identified.
Yep, 3 years, 8 days, but who's counting??

Hey Steve,
I agree with what you're saying. I have no problem with criticism as long as it is constructive and not the "holier than thou art" type of replies. I've visited a lot of modeling forums where no matter what is posted, it's just the best thing they have ever seen, when clearly there was room for improvement utilizing very simple methods. I think those forums are more for show and tell, and I'm sure they don't want to scare new or younger modelers away. I've posted projects that I was sincerely looking for constructive criticism on, and really gotten nothing. This after looking at the work of some clearly outstanding modelers. I suppose you have to attach a disclaimer asking for honest opinions.
BTW, sorry we couldn't talk the other morning, they are keeping me running. I'm looking forward to getting back to M/W soon.
Any shows coming to Denver soon?? I've never entered a contest. I don't really model at that level, but would enjoy the experience. Talk to you soon.

Chris,
There are a lot of modelers out there who build for a living. I'm afraid I'm not quite that good, but if you are looking for something in particular, I'm sure you could have it made to order.

Hi Paul,
I believe in the late 30's - early 40's. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

Hi Paul,
Thanks. I'd have to go through and count them up. I have most of the common armor patches and some battalion patches. I'm starting to collect the Infantry patches now.
Here is one I really like that you don't see too often. The 101st Infantry before they were airborne.

Bob,
I'm not sure I understand your question, but here are my Corps patches. I'd love to get my mits on an original XVIII Corps. Sorry about the crappy photo.

Bob,
I only have two V Corps. Here is the other. I think the "thin" numeral above is an earlier variant.
The V Corps never came to be. It was anticipated and patches were made.....but.

Jon,
I like it. I think the patches in the frames look really nice too. I might do this with some of my US patches.

Nick,
As you know, at one time I collected EK's. That single parade mounted EKII is the best I have seen.
All of these are sweet.

And he got this when he retired, so was not added to the rack.
