USMC Recon Ranger Swift Silent Deadly Patch
RMEAV8R replied to bbmilitaria's topic in CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS PATCH?
I'm thinking it may be a. College ROTC patch. I found this on the web: Pathway to Ranger School: For cadets interested in pursuing a career as a Ranger in the Army, being part of a Recon Ranger Team in ROTC can provide valuable experience and prepare them for the challenges of Ranger School. -

That's awesome. I have to assume that Schleiger was with the railroad prior to the war. I wish there had been some other supporting information, but this was it. -
Presidential Medal of Freedom and LOM Group opinions
jmpmstr replied to Doodlebewi's topic in MEDALS & DECORATIONS
The Presidential Medal of Freedom in various grades are copies IMO. But not handling them I’d have to qualify my opinion. The appearance is flat on the enamel and the badges are much too shiny with the same anodized look when our service medals are treated. The enamel should be deep in color with a slight vaulting to it and exceedingly detailed in application. The Medal for Merit is a nice 80s or 90s made piece, IMO. The connecting bale between the badge and suspension is narrow, a mark of the recent manufacture. I can’t speak for the Citizens Medal as I’ve not handled an authentic piece . All nice pieces and great representation of our military and in particular civilian agency honors, there is a lot of value there nonetheless. -

aef1917 replied to The Rooster's topic in M-1; M-1C & M-2 HELMETS
St. Clair. They have a slight cutout where the chinstrap loops are on the helmet. -

M1 with Low Pressure liner.... What brand is it?
The Rooster posted a topic in M-1; M-1C & M-2 HELMETS
Hello, I was wondering what type low pressure liner this is? It sold tonight on ebay. The steel is Schluter front seam, I think with a Manganese rim. The liner is low pressure and seems to be authentic, I just cannot make out any brand. No good shots inside the crown. I was wondering if anyone knew just by looking at it? Thank you. -
Would depend on the branch of the owner, could be anything

I am updating this post with some more information provided to me by Capt. Stanley's son, a few clippings from newspapers, his flight log entry showing his kills and also when he was shot down.

Colorized WW2 1st Raider Battalion USMC
Brig replied to usmc1981's topic in INDIVIDUAL & UNIT PORTRAITS
Great image, not sure how I overlooked this one. Worcester and Leominster are part of the area our Toys for Tots program services at 25th Marines. It is very likely that this unit rendered his funeral honors in 2009. -
Haven't picked one of these up for awhile. Nice well marked liner, 1969 dated. Odd shade of green inside helmet. Heat stamp is 25A. Came with a 1979 dated helmet cover. Vendor had tag that said repro helmet, not sure why. Maybe the guy he bought it from used in for reenactment.
