Top shelf Coast Guard WW2 Officer Uniform- Valor Medals

[Paul R]

Here is my latest addition. While it is not to a member of the medical profession, the uniqueness of it had me make an exception. A nice uniform set to CAPT Richard R. Smith. He was a veteran of both WW2 and Korea. He is the only person I can see in my books who was awarded both the Navy/Marine Corps Medal and the Bronze Star with the "V" combat designation device. As you can see, the ribbon bars are sewn onto the jacket. His citations are in this photo group as well. All I need is a hat, white shirt/tie, and shoes!

A fantastic group my friend. I love the navy and MC medal on the ribbon bar.

Thank you my friend.  I was so excited to see it that I sold an old flag to pay for it.  Named groups for the Coast Guard, especially with these high medals, are very scarce.

I think I saw this one when it was for sale and i almost grabbed it myself, though it is just outside of my focuses as well!  It's really such a great unique uniform.  I'm glad you got it!

Thank you!  Me too.  It is one of my favorite US uniforms so far.
