Hauptmann Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Medal for the Liberation of Kuwait:And although this is, I believe a Saudi award alot of our troops were awarded it so felt I'd pop it in here as a companion to the Persian Gulf medal. Besides... I really like the design of this one not to mention the overabundance of green and gold in it's design as well as the case.[attachmentid=52059][attachmentid=52060][attachmentid=52061][attachmentid=52062][attachmentid=52063] Edited August 30, 2006 by Hauptman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 And last but not least... not a medal the a commemorative piece that I've always liked and thought I'd post it here as a tribute to U.S. Vets.[attachmentid=52064][attachmentid=52065]That concludes the show... for now at least. I do hope to add a few more before all is said and done.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Great stuff Dan. These are very underappreciated. Mainly because US peeps don't usually collect US stuff I guess Many here only like to collect the WW1, WW2 era of these medals ... but whatever, they are hard to find and usually over priced. But a great deal of medals have only been around for the last 20 years .. so there really is no "old" variation of them. This usually goes to the Civilian / Public Service / NASA group.Great stuff. Made me do a head count on my US ones ... last count ~ 200 +/-. Too many to post here, but glad to see I'm not alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks it would fill a fairly large dance hall!!!! But I totally agree... very underappreciated except for the specialty or really rare pieces, etc. But hey, I love them, they needed a home... what's a collector to do? Many thanks my friend!
