Received this from the BDE S-3 Sargeant Major

[Guest IMHF]

Here is a group of Iraqi Medals I received from the BDE S-3 Sargeant Major:

During his tour in Iraq with First Cav Divison in Taji, Iraq, his unit stumbled on a wearhouse that was bombed. Inside of the warehouse was Iraqi Orders and Medals all over the place. The Iraqi awards had been burnt leaving just the metal portion of the award, ribbons and enamel had been removed from the extreme heat from the fire. I was told that the soldiers with him filled sand bags with the Iraqi medals, not caring about the condition: To me it would have been a kid in a candy store

Here is some of those medals from the Taji, Iraq Warehouse:

Thank you for viewing.......

Some of those dont look to be in too rough of shape.
