Captainofthe7th Posted January 19, 2018 Share #7 Posted January 19, 2018 Archives II at College Park...I think...I write to them for Army GOs, I assume they have USAF but I don't know. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIKyle Posted January 19, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2018 I would write USAFHRA first, since the inquiries are free. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainofthe7th Posted January 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2018 Just a note that Archives II is also free for requests under 20 pages. They will usually send a scan (color) to your email. Write to both and see who comes back first! Now I know another source...thanks, Kyle! Very nice medal, by the way. I love the research you found already. It is hard to find these USAF combat pieces from Korea. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
