army historian Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Hello All, I have only seen a very few mounted US Army Medal groups in all my years of collecting 44 or so. So when I started working with this ex-soldier (the recipient), I suggested to him we mount the medals and get them named. This is my little effort to preserve some more history for the collectors of the future. He served with the 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment in Korea. He served from 1999 to 2004. He was a diesel mechanic on Bradley Fighting Vehicles. See reply for rest of photos Enjoy Cheers Captain Albert Edited October 11, 2010 by army historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will add photo when I get a few missing items. Here is an example of one of my Riker mounts. Cheers Captain Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
